Brief info
Hailing from Long Beach, California, Manuel the Band blurs the lines between rock, pop, and jam music, creating a warm, wide-ranging sound that’s every bit as diverse as the group’s Southern California stomping grounds.
Rooted in the savvy songwriting of frontman Manuel Grajeda, it’s a sound that makes room for electric guitar, pedal steel, a two-piece horn section, and deep-set rhythms. A sound that aims not only for the head and the heart, but also for the dancing shoes. Nowhere does that sound pack a bigger punch than on 2021’s Things That Can’t Be Seen, whose songs of love, loss, and personal growth find Manuel the Band putting a personal spin on the universal experiences we all share. Some of these experiences can’t be seen… but they can be heard, turning this album into a soundtrack for the ups and downs of modern-day relationships.
Fast forward to 2025 with the song "Don't Count On Me", a dynamic, upbeat tempo song that the band teamed up on with Grammy winning producer Ted Hutt (Flogging Molly / Dropkick Murphys).
The song was first played at a show with The Smithereens and drew the interest of The Smithereens guitar player Jim Babjak. When he came out of their dressing room during the sound check to ask about the song, the band thought they might have a good one.
