Casual Country at Elephant in the Room

Casual Coalition is an always rotating musical cast, spearheaded by multi-instrumentalist/singer-songwriter Craig MacArthur & multi-instrumentalist/engineer-producer David Simon-Baker, who lead both the live & studio bands. The band regularly features a slew of talented local Bay Area musicians, which have included Chuck Prophet, The Mother Hips, Stu Allen (Phil Lesh & Friends, Mars Hotel), Dan “LEBO” Lebowitz & Steve Adams (of ALO), Mark Karan (Ratdog, Phil Lesh & Friends), Reed Mathis (Electric Beethoven), Danny Eisenberg (The Mother Hips, Ryan Adams, Counting Crows) & many more! Along with performing some of country’s greatest songs, the band also explore deeper cuts that are often overlooked by the mainstream but carry the same excellence in songwriting.
