Staffed by a hall of fame roster of multi-instrumentalists—David Lindley, Chris Darrow, Solomon Feldthouse, Chester Crill (aka: Fenrus Epp) and John Vidican—this San Gabriel Valley, Calif.-based combo cut their dazzling 1967 album with a startling arsenal of instruments that included banjo, fiddle, doumbeg, mandolin, viola, saz, bouzoukee, dobro, vina, authoharp, oud and clarinet. When they entertained the wide-eyed customers of San Francisco’s Fillmore and Avalon Ballrooms and Los Angeles’ Ash Grove, they frequently employed flamenco and belly dancers onstage. Just like the see-through tube with bits of colored glass and mirrors that gave the band their name, the Kaleidoscope was never the same, no matter which way you turned it!\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"SUNDAZED MUSIC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67496676819162,"sku":"THE-KALEIDOSCOPE-SIDE-TRIPS-LP","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0550\/4709\/4490\/files\/image_c97c0afa-23f4-4e4c-8069-c86dc37969d2.jpg?v=1791220722","url":"https:\/\/metaledgemag.com\/products\/the-kaleidoscope-side-trips-lp","provider":"Metal Edge","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
