From http://www.uncledoodad.com : The seeds for Uncle DooDad were sown sometime around 1997 when Joe was managing another Seattle band and Craig was on keys. They ran into each other again in 2000 at a local studio during production of a demo for another band that Joe was playing bass in. A few years and a couple of bands later Joe and Craig met up again when they were out seeing some live music and decided to work up their own material.
Craig VanGenderen ( lead/rhythm guitar, vocals) has been playing guitars and keyboards for over 20 years for a wide variety of acts. Craig is a unique and versatile player and he uses some unusual instruments and tunings to produce his sounds. You may catch him working with a 1930's lap steel, electric dobro, sitar, 1953 Fender stringmaster, or a Hammond organ, sometimes all in the same night. "It starts with a sound in my head. The different instruments are a product of me trying to reproduce those sounds physically".
Joe Johnson (bass guitar) has been involved in the music business for at least 15 years now in many different capacities. He has managed rock bands, been a booking agent, soundman, roadie, put on music festivals, and worked for some record labels among other things. After going through the experience of several local bands and projects there has been a core group of friends that have been a mainstay for him and fortunately they are now able to come together with the goal of making music that is both meaningful and inspiring.
Jordan Beede (2010 to current drums) has been bangin’ the skins for over 13 years, and loves every minute of it! He studied under Jason McGerr of Death Cab for Cutie while growing up in Bellingham, WA. In 2003 Jordan moved to Seattle and has been a part of the Seattle music scene since; playing in bands such as Summit Avenue, Sunderlyn, and Uncle Doodad. Jordan truly enjoys playing music and dedicates himself to being a student of music, “My goal is to learn, listen, observe, and become a better drummer each day.” Jordan Enjoys board-sports, sushi, 80’s movies, Chuck Norris, and a good IPA."
