Since late 2003, Goat Motor has taken their influences of Rock, Jazz, Blues, Metal, and Soul and melded into one of Chicago's most veritable trios.  Founding members Nate Wolverton and Dustin Fillion have continuously thrown adversity to the wind and persisted to do whatever comes next.  Whether it be touring, recording, headlining, supporting, or writing, their happy-go-lucky mentality has appeared to be a working recipe for a longstanding musical relationship that is evident any time they take the stage.  Now entering their third year with Brandon Dickert on the drums, he is incessantly contributing to composing, arranging, and from a business standpoint; something the band has not had in the past.  Its quite apparent they've found a spot-on cohort to move on to the next chapter. 
This upcoming new decade should bring on a number of exciting affairs as the band continues to collaborate with three heads contributing to write new material and pay visits to new and familiar places.  The decision is still up in the air on whether or not the band will return to the road but as for now they will be staying local to reinforce their presence in the Second City.

*- With John Toth on drums.
