"Twin Cities singer/songwriter GENE LAFOND ...
is a versatile journeyman who writes honest,
compassionate and appealing songs that can be
refreshingly offbeat (the country-folk fantasy
'Thank You Emmylou') or even positively Dylanesque
(the 9/11 blues shuffle 'It's Gonna Rain')."
JON BREAM - Mpls Star Tribune 10/24/02
It's all about the songs!
They run from blues to rock to
country to irreverent folk.
I call it "Folk Rattle & Roll".
The songs grew out of the experiences
I've had as a founding member of the band
"The Mere Mortals", performing twice at
Neil Young's Bridge School Benefit Concert
in San Francisco, opening for Bob Dylan,
Ramblin' Jack Elliott, Kinky Friedman, and many more.
