About Artistic Simplistic

Artistic Simplistic is a dynamic duo consisting of Edgar Gonzalez Jr. and Jessi Riese. The two met during a creative writing course at the University of Central Florida. After discovering that they both wrote their own music and also favored the same bands, they decided that starting a band together was inevitable. The band is based in Orlando, Florida and has performed many shows around town at venues like Natura Café, The Haven Lounge, Austin's Coffee, and others. The band performed it's first show in January 2009. "Rouge & Roundabouts", the first song the band wrote together, was debuted at open mic night at Natura Café, winning best performance of the night. The song has become a fan favorite, along with "Alice", which features a kazoo solo. In June 2009, the band traveled to New York City, performing in Union Square and at the Sidewalk Café. The trip was funded thanks to donations recieved via paypal. Original songs were written and recorded, as well as several cover songs, for those who donated. These songs can be heard as part of the "New York" album. Artistic Simplistic occasionally performs shows with awesome musicians such as Cassandra Wilcox, Peter Baldwin, James Roquemore, Matt Lavoie, Bucket of Nails, Kayla Oberlin, and Ben Bloss.
