Bio:

The Good Intentions were formed from its members' prior bands, Quatrain and Q, at the end of 2003. Following the positive reception of their demo release in 2006, TGI decided to take the plunge, and their debut album was released in the early summer of 2008.

The three members of the band have all crossed musical paths before. R.P Davies, who wrote all the songs for the new album (working title: Another Place, and now released as Poor Boy), has been writing songs and playing in bands for many years. Peter finds The Good Intentions' acoustic style and attention to vocals, the perfect setting for his songs.

Frank Roskell's influences come from rock and indie rock, as well as soul and blues. Gabi Monk is a classically-trained pianist with a finely tuned ear for harmonies. Her musical preferences include traditional country, alt-country and Americana.

In the spring of 2009, the bands fourth member, Scott Poley joined The Good Intentions, bringing with him his skills as a professional musician and the sounds of pedal steel, mandolin and electric guitar.
