GBots and the Journeymen have thrilled audiences in and around Bend, Oregon for over a decade with
their improvisational inclinations and workingman-like approach to creating music you want to listen to.

GBots and the Journeymen were forged from an alchemy of elements, part inspiration, part passion, with
healthy dashes of good timing, like any song you can’t get out of your head. As GBots solo career set
sail, intersections with bassist Justin Lebart, drummer Jon Swift, and lead guitarist and vocalist Mark
Ransom have led to the electric synergies experienced every time GBots and the Journeymen take the stage.

The GBots and the Journeymen Experience

Experiencing GBots and the Journeymen live is an immersion into a sonic bathtub steeped in rich rock,
funk, and soul roots, plus a proper conjuring of the finest jam bands, both past and present. Front man
GBots (Greg Botsford), a classically trained vocalist, ties every performance together with his primary
instrument - his voice - often mixing rare beat-box skills with silky-smooth, yet robust vocals.
Think Ben Harper’s soulful songwriting, Dave Matthews’ syncopated rhythms, Queen’s masterful
arrangements, and Jon Butler’s undeniable energy.

Albums

GBots and the Journeymen recorded their debut album Astrolabos in 2017 at TRI Studios in San Rafael,
California. The album reflects the band’s varied interests and disciplines. Tracks like the haunting
“Endure”, an epic story of persistence and tragedy, the naked funk of “Cravin”, and the feel-good
bluegrass of “Gypsy Blue” infuses the album with a live feel by design.
GBots released the solo album Infinite Possibilities in 2021 with help from the Central Oregon Recording
studio in Bend, Oregon. The Journeymen and several local musicians sat in as special guests. The title
track “Infinite Possibilities”, the crowd-pleasing “Live To Love Another Day”, and “Wild Man”, inspired by
GBots’ father’s poetry, cement this album as an experiment in eclectic collaboration.
Both albums can be streamed on Apple Music, Spotify, and other platforms.

Shows/Venues

GBots and the Journeymen continue to polish their craft on stages throughout the Pacific Northwest as
Central Oregon local favorites. They have been featured at regional gatherings like 4 Peaks Music
Festival, Bend Roots Revival Festival, Raindance Music Festival, Cascade Equinox Festival, and opened
for Bob Weir and the Wolf Brothers during Bigstock 2022 at Hoodoo Ski Resort.
The GBots and the Journeymen experience is an invitation to warm the soul with sound as often as
possible.
