The Flea Market Poets are an eclectic American rock band with roots in Austin (TX) and Baltimore (MD). The band consists of Jason Serious on lead vocals, guitar and keyboards, Christian Chapman on drums, Michael Behnke on bass, Brian Reno on guitars and synths, Grainne McMenamin on backing vocals and Dylan Masells on guitars, bass and percussion. The Poets play a melodic brand of rock occasionally crossing over into Punk and Americana.
Think: Radiohead jamming with Wilco down the pub, Eddie Vedder bumping into Beck at the corner store, the Ramones in a knitting circle with Neil Young (he does knit, we are assured). Known for versatility and intuitive songwriting, the band can capture and engage diverse audiences, in rock clubs and festivals as well as in more intimate unplugged settings.
In 2007 the band caught the attention of Brit Award winning producer Pete Briquette (Bob Geldof, the Frames, Tricky) who then went on to produce their first single "Captain Nate" which is continually growing in popularity on iTunes.
