The Desert Furs are an electrifying psychedelic rock and jam quartet based in Boulder County, Colorado. Formed in 2019, the band consists of guitarist and lead singer, Billy Wassung, Jon Studtmann on bass and vocals, Cody Bump on keyboards, synths and vocals, and Alex Thiessen on drums and percussion. Drawing inspiration from the rich legacy and rhythmic grooves of the 1960’s and 70’s, The Desert Furs weave together unique original compositions with luscious tones, atmospheric textures, and ethereal vocal harmonies. Their music takes listeners on a transcendental sonic journey through kaleidoscopic landscapes, where rhythmic improvisations collide with an inspiring message of love. Led by charismatic front man and primary songwriter, Billy Wassung, whose soulful vocals, and heartfelt cosmic indie creations serve as the band’s driving force, The Desert Furs captivate audiences with their dynamic performances and stage presence. Wassung and Studtmann’s thought-provoking lyrics explore themes of love, freedom, and the human experience, creating a profound connection with listeners. With their boundless creativity and infectious energy, The Desert Furs create immersive and transformative musical experiences for their fans and are poised to leave an indelible mark on the Colorado music community, much to the listening and dancing delight of their growing fanbase and audiences.
