The Denver Gentlemen

About

The Denver Gentlemen is a band from Denver, Colorado. The band was formed in 1988 by Jeffrey-Paul Norlander and David Eugene Edwards. The following year the band was expanded with Jean-Yves Tola. Tola was replaced by Slim Cessna in 1991. Edwards left the band the same year to start a new band with Tola, 16 Horsepower.

A countless number of band members passed through the following years. A particular TDG lineup consisted (besides Jeffrey-Paul Norlander - vocals, piano, glockenspiel) of Jon Stubbs (trombone), Mark McCoin (drums), Valerie Ferry (vocals and bass) and David Wiley (accordion). In August 1995 the band made a live recording at The Bug Theatre in Denver. At this time, no record company was interested in releasing it. Jeffrey-Paul Norlander disbanded TDG and joined his former band mates in 16 Horsepower. He did however not last long, and left the band in 1998 before the album "Low Estate" was released.
Six years after the actual live recording Absalom Records released the album "Introducing...The Denver Gentlemen".
The Denver Gentlemen was undoubtedly a catalyst for many bands. Denver is today a very important cluster in the "gothic country" community.
