The North Texas band Fishing for Comets is made up of Camille Cortinas (vocals/guitar,) Sam Romero (guitar,) Eric Swanson (mandolin/bass/vocals,) Aaron Thomas (drums,) and Gary Rivers (bass/melodica/percussion.)
Although, as a duo, Cortinas and Romero have been writing together since 2002, this latest incarnation of their work has added new life and textures to the pallet. At the 2005 Dallas Observer Music Awards the band won the award for Best Folk Acoustic act and received a nomination for Best Female Vocalist (Camille Cortinas.)
In 2006, the band will see the release of its first full length album and original music written for a documentary by Joe Willix and the Coppell House of Dance entitled "5, 6, 7, 8...A Year in the Life of the Coppell House of Dance.”
Critics have been saying it best, “The sweet, melodic sounds of Fishing for Comets could be therapy for the sad, or medicine for the downhearted. If the good vibes emitting from this acoustic-rock group could be bottled, it would surely be the cure for something.” Fishing for Comets performs energetically and has developed the reputation as a crowd-pleaser.
