Come Alive
Since forming in 2004, Still Time has made the transition from local notoriety to a rapidly growing regional and national presence through a dedicated grass roots and word of mouth process. Still Time began carving out a name for themselves in the San Luis Obispo, California bar and college scene as their music spread through rough-cut songs passed from fan to fan. By 2006, Still Time was playing to a regularly sold out house at San Luis Obispo's most popular music venue,
Downtown Brewing Co., and began touring across the West Coast.
With their music being hard to place into any one genre, Still Time's sound is best defined as groove rock with an eclectic mix of instruments such as; harmonica, mandolin, slide guitar and upright bass. With a unique style reminiscent of dynamic artists such as Ben Harper, Van Morrison and Dave Matthews Band, Still Time offers a positive, high-energy show that appeals to many different musical tastes and backgrounds. They have had the opportunity to entertain at a broad range of venues, from small, intimate acoustic sets to festivals with several thousand attendees. This diverse style and live performance has allowed them to share the stage with a variety of artists such as Ziggy Marley, Michael Franti & Spearhead, UB40, Steel Pulse, Ozomatli, George Clinton & Parliament Funkadelic, Robert Randolph, Mad Caddies, Pepper, Strung Out, ALO, David Lindley, Jackie Greene, etc.
The band's debut album "Stream of Consciousness", released independently in 2007 under their own record label When It Hits Records, was quickly embraced by fans, putting the single "High Tide" in the 1 spot on San Luis Obispo radio station New Rock 107.3 for over 7 weeks. The album reflects the bands' ability to connect with audiences of all ages and backgrounds and has sold several thousand copies.
With the release of their second album "See America" in May 2009, Still Time continues to progress with their cross-generational sound. To capture the right feel for each song, the album was written and recorded in multiple locations throughout the West Coast including an abandoned boxcar on the coast of Oregon, a forrest in the hills of Santa Cruz, an empty mansion in San Francisco, and an after hours bar in San Luis Obispo. The album was then mixed by Grammy Award winning engineer Fred Vogler, at the world famous Ocean Way Studios in Hollywood, California.
With musical stylings far beyond their years, the experience that Still Time provides is comparable to a day at the beach with close friends, great times, deep conversations, and contemplation. It's this experience along with a feeling of community that Still Time hopes to always provide for their diverse fan base.
"Living on California’s central coast can’t help but have injected a certain light hearted flavour to the band’s material, but there’s a distinctly jazzy depth to proceedings that suggests things might not be as frivolous as first listens might suggest. It’s that profundity coupled with a laid back and unashamedly polished feel that has helped them sell a few thousand copies of their debut LP ‘Stream of Consciousness' on word of mouth alone."

"See America is a musically diverse album full of instrospective lyrics, amazing musicianship and thoughtful well structured compositions from front to end.Today’s featured track, Come Alive seems to recall the bittersweet feeling that visiting one’s hometown and the long summer months seem to recollect. I can just smell the sweet smoke drifting up through the sunshine from the BBQ while that smoking harmonica wails throughout. Hell yes, pass the ribs!"
-- Charles Stepczyk (Insomnia Radio)
"This album ("Stream of Consciosuness") reminds the listener why hearing an album straight through should not become a forgotten joy."
-- Tyler Blue (Santa Barbara News Press)
