Background
Bahama Llama originated with the creative lyrics and whimsical energy of singer songwriter and band leader Eric Ban in 1997.The musical roots
are nested in a simple acoustic sound,a great groove,and a strange way of looking at human behavior.
A key turning point for Bahama Llama was the partnership of Eric with Songwriter/Producer/Drummer, Ed Gaus in 2000. Adding Ed's groove
elements and song writing skills to Eric's creative lyrical and spirited escapist attitude created a powerful songwriting partnership.The product,a
"groovalicious"high powered package of musical fun and energy is unveiled in the latest release,"Baja Whale Watching."
Bahama Llama corners the market on fresh and fun.Delivering the market shares by routinely knocking out the college crowds,loosening the ties
of corporate America,and redefining family fun at festivals,concerts,and events.The commitment to a blend of original music,obscure pop island
gems,and uniquely arranged standards has been the formula for creating a pocket of fun for everyone.
Bahama Llama appears in a variety of combinations from acoustic trio to the full band including a horn section.The llama castaways include a
collection of top studio rhythm players from the Midwest, a soulful mix of vocals, and hot rippin' horn fellas! The touring rap sheet for llama
musicians include John Mellencamp,The Wallflowers, Ray Boltz,Amy Grant, to Sandi Patti, the Temptations as well as top nationally syndicated
radio program "The Bob & Tom Show".
