Doug Otto and the Getaways are known for playing the classic country and blues music of the old greats as well as their own compositions. They began to take root in 2005 within the legendary Minneapolis music scene. The Getaways possess a wide-ranging repertoire that is sure to bring you up and then right back down again. They create a sound that is introspective and melancholy, as well as upbeat, danceable and celebratory.

John Till grew up in Naperville but was always drawn to the outdoors and wide open spaces. Till gets right to it on the opening track to his new album of originals titled “Work Away The Day.” Till was exposed to country blues through an older brother's record collection that included now folk-blues legend Mississippi John Hurt and Mississippi hill country bluesman Fred McDowell. You can hear his admiration for singer/songwriter Chris Smither as well. Bloomington’s Edward David Anderson produced "Work Away The Day" with a depth to the room. Till’s voice is clearly heard, but you can hear his words echo off the walls of the studio as if it was a live performance in an old general store.
