About the Band
Fourteen Feet is a New York based roots-rock band that was founded in 2001 by singer/songwriter Steve Welner. Running the gamut from traditional acoustic folk, blues, and bluegrass to over-driven electric rock, the band can most accurately be described as fitting within the, "Americana", or "No Depression" style. Along with Steve (guitar, vocal), the current line-up features Rich Lanahan (guitar, vocal), Mike "Hombre" Meehan (bass, vocal), Carmine Cacioppo (drums), and Mike McDonald (drums). The band's third album, Stole Away, "The Billy Sessions" will be released in May 2008. The album was named in tribute to their late great drummer, Billy Cairns. All of the songs for the new album were played and recorded live onto analog tape and then transfered to the digital realm. It was produced by Eric "Roscoe" Ambel and engineered by Tim Hatfield at, Cowboy Technical Studios in Brooklyn, NY. The band's other recordings include, "Running Hearts" (2006) and, "All You Need" (2001).
Fourteen Feet is the distance that Curly fell through a laundry chute in a 3 Stooges episode. It is also the drop from the gallows in the Joseph Conrad novel, "The Secret Agent".

-----"This CD is jukebox-ready from start to finish as it creates a smoky bar vibe by going from heart-felt weepers to rockers and back again." Jeff Weiss, Miles of Music.
-----"With an undercurrent of country used, ‘Fourteen Feet’ overlays it with a rocky sound, giving it a more modern feel while still allowing great song writing to come through" Aled Roberts, Americana UK.
-----"With the motto, "Make Songs Not War" he happily swims in the roots-pond with big fish like Uncle Tupelo, Bottle Rockets, Son Volt, the Hangdogs, Georgia Sattelites, and Drive-By Truckers...." Francois (SWA) Rootstime
