City Squirrel is a duo- for the time being. We play a sort of moody British-influenced folk pop, and our songs are melodically carried and driven by 12-string acoustic guitar or piano. An organ provides the bass and gives the songs either a dark mellow dynamic or helps them find a lighter, more charged feel. We also incorporate viola, violin, and xylophone into our live shows and throw some vocal harmonies into the mix as well.

Our most recent album, Storm (featuring my brother Michael Wallace on the cello and Mitch Easter on bass and at the mixing console) was completed in August of 2005. After spending nine months in Virginia playing out in the Mid-Atlantic region, we moved to Portland, Oregon about a year ago. We played shows in the area until the beginning of 2007 and since, have made this our permanent home and set up a studio of sorts.

Now it is October and we are writing and recording new songs. We are also interested in finding a drummer to spice things up a bit, so if you or anyone you know... ok, enough already. Anyway, keep your eyes open for our next recording- it should be out the beginning of next year.
