The Big Motif are a Colorado band consisting of Tony Pacello on guitar and vocals, Hunter Roberts on bass, and Jeff Jani on drums. Formerly called The Runnin Wild Band, in September 2009 the guys decided on a name change that better represented the direction they were going musically, and The Big Motif was born. Now 6 years into playing with each other, this young group has molded a sound that combines elements of blues, rock, reggae, jazz, and a host of other influences that transcends an upbeat and groovy sound appealing to both younger and older music fans alike.The Big Motif have finished a new 7 song EP as well as a music video to be released in March 2011. Produced by the band and their manager Morris Beegle, they also enlisted Jamie Hillyer from Module Overload Studios to track and mix it, and brought in Jeremy Lawton from Big Head Todd and the Monsters to master it. The sound is more stripped down than their debut CD and shows the group as an honest 3 piece rock and roll band. With over 100 live performances in 2010, The Big Motif have played on stages of all sizes and to diverse crowds throughout the Rocky Mountain region.
