Farmer Dave Scher has lent his pedal steel prowess to a number of big name acts, including (but definitely not limited to)
Elvis Costello,
Jenny Lewis,
Vetiver, and
Interpol. In the late 1990s, he was a core member of the California-based indie pop group
Beachwood Sparks, and he co-founded the short-lived duo
All Night Radio with fellow
Beachwood Sparks member Jimi Hey in 2002.
Scher put out his first solo album, Flash Forward to the Good Times, on the Brooklyn, NY-based label Kimado Records in the summer of 2009. A tongue-in-cheek affair that melded soft rock, album rock, and indie pop sensibilities (in other words, sounding something like a cross between
Joe Walsh and
Beachwood Sparks), the album featured guest appearances by producer
Thom Monahan (whose previous credits included work for
Devendra Banhart) and members of
Entrance and
VietNam. ~ TiVo Staff
