....News....

After playing rock music around New England as the rhythm section for The McDonough Band for the last 10 years, Gerard McDonough and Dave Smith have branched out in a new direction. When The McDonough Band went on hiatus at the end of 2009, The Acoustic Experiment was born, and with the addition of Rob and Chris, they hope to expand their horizons.

Blending an upbeat vocal oriented sound with string instruments and percussion, they try to stretch the boundaries of what acoustic music can be. Original songs, eclectic covers, lush harmonies and rise from the dead dynamics highlight the live shows as well as the new CD "Sticks n Strings "

The Acoustic Experiment looks forward to more recording and finding the right venues to present their material..Thanks to all for support and encouragement !!!!!

As many of you know, The McDonough Band is on hiatus. Paul is currently working on a solo project, and Gerard has released his first solo CD, 'Idiot Proof'. Currently, Gerard and Dave are touring their combined project, The Acoustic Experiment, and will be releasing a CD soon entitled 'Sticks and Strings'. They have been playing gigs locally, and will be announcing more dates soon, with potential venues including Perks' in Norwood MA, Finnegan's Wake in Walpole MA, and possibly as far away as Austin Texas, and Patawawa Ontario Canada. Please check in frequently, as we will be posting any news and updates when they become available. Also, check out Gerard and Dave's video on YouTube, '2 Girls, 1 Cup' using the link below and as always, feel free to leave messages on the Guest Book.

The McDonough Band is three guys who grew up together in Walpole MA, playing together in different bands for almost 30 years. They formally became The McDonough Band in the Summer of 1999.

With songs that show influences from Alt-Country, to R&B, to Punk, they blend their Unique Brand of Rock 'N' Roll in a tasty musical stew.

Their music has been hailed for lyrical twists and creative arrangements which may swing for BlueGrass to Pop. They are also known for a Fierce Live Show that features Vocal Harmonies and Three Piece Muscle Rock.

It's Blue Collar Rock 'N' Roll !!!
