Green Lemon

(1999-2008) was a psychedelic rock band founded in the suburbs of Oklahoma City, OK. They were known for their schizophrenic sampling of genres, heavy beats and elaborate harmonies.

The founding members, Wayne Allen (rhythm guitar), Jonathon Cordero (keyboards, congas), Chris Connor (keyboards), Matthew Fioravanti (bass), Chris Cox (drums), and (Lincoln Greenhaw (lead guitar), met in high school and eventually moved to Northern Colorado to jumpstart a career of near-constant touring.

Name:

The band was originally known as “Grass,” until the name was contested by a Midwestern bluegrass band. The Green Lemon name was argued over for months until its eventual acceptance in the fall of 2001. They picked the new name because it meant absolutely nothing, and was also pleasant sounding.

Former Members:

Chris Connor left the band in the summer of 2001, just before the rest of the band moved to Colorado, leaving Jonathon Cordero to man the keyboard station.

Lincoln Greenhaw left the band after the Christmas show of 2004 in Oklahoma City, to be replaced by guitarist Steve Schaben.

Press:

Green Lemon was named 2004 New Home Grown Band Of The Year by the Home Grown Music Network, and have been featured in Relix and SPIN Magazines. They have also been awarded Independent Artist of the Year by Hapi Skratch Entertainment and were featured in the 2005 Jam Off in NYC, hosted by the CMJ Music Marathon and Relix Magazine.

Jam It Up the Poudre:

Jam It Up the Poudre was an annual festival held by Green Lemon at the Mishawaka Outdoor theatre in the Poudre Canyon, north of Fort Collins Colorado from 2003-2007.
