Backstory:
Old Cable is a group of seasoned musicians who found each other in the heart of the vibrant Chicago music scene. The band members, comprising of lead vocalist and guitarist Nick, drummer Amy, bassist Charles, and keyboardist Bill, originally performed in different local bands. However, during an impromptu jam session at a charity concert, their chemistry was undeniable. They decided to merge their diverse musical backgrounds and form Old Cable, a name that represents the grit, age, and resilience that they believe embodies their sound and story.
Their journey started in the late 2000s, where they began by playing gigs in small pubs and local festivals. Their big break came when they were spotted by a talent scout while performing at a charity function. Today, Old Cable has a sizable fanbase and their concerts often sell out within hours. Despite achieving fame, they remain grounded and continually seek to share their love for music with their fans and the world.

Title:
“Among the Cedars”
Full Song Lyrics:
[C] There’s a place I know, [G] down the old dirt road,
[Am] Among the cedars, [F] where our dreams unfold.
[C] Under the glow of stars, [G] strumming our old guitars,
[Am] Singing till dawn, [F] we were never forlorn.
Chorus:
[G] Among the cedars, [C] we found our melody,
[Am] In the silence of the woods, [F] found our harmony.
[G] We learned to sing our songs, [C] under the open sky,
[Am] Among the cedars, [F] where our spirits fly.
[C] In the whispering wind, [G] we heard the soft violin,
[Am] Among the cedars, [F] we learned to lean in.
[C] With a fire beneath the pine, [G] together we intertwine,
[Am] Dancing to the rhythm, [F] of an old love rhyme.
(Chorus)
After the Chorus:
[C] Oh, among the cedars, [G] we found our home,
[Am] In the embrace of the woods, [F] we are never alone.
[C] Now every time we sing, [G] we carry the echoing,
[Am] Of the time among the cedars, [F] where we found everything.
(Chorus)
