Danger

Often times great things can be born out of not taking things seriously, and just making music for the fun of it. In this case it was label mates and their producer sitting around the studio longing for the days when bands rocked a lot harder. That conversation was the start of Deer Mother - three people with their own projects coming together to have fun.

Singer Jesse Thomas has a burgeoning career of her own as a singer / songwriter. Her first album War Dancer (2012) charted at Billboard in three categories, and she was Starbuck's artist "Pick of the Week" with 2.1 million download cards in the U.S. and Canada.

Deer mother's guitar player Sari Mellafe, has had similar similar success with her band The Young Romans. Upon the release of their first record "Tiger Child" they were the iTunes "free download of the week" and had their song "Where You Go" as the end credits in the film "Salmon Fishing In The Yemen" with Ewan McGregor and Emily Blunt.

Guitar player and producer Jim Roach owns Red Parade Music the label that has both Jesse and The Young Romans. He also happens to produce all of the records that come out on the label. "Our label is very much like a family and we're all so used to working together that this side project was a seamless transition. It's a fun outlet for all of us." says Jim.
Deer Mother's debut EP "Voodoo" will be released January 2015.
