Music of the Mountains: The CBDs (Evan Cantor, Burt Rashbaum, and Roland LaForge)

Send us a text

Evan Cantor, Burt Rashbaum, and Roland LaForge have always been musicians. They’ve all worked to become professional musicians, but ultimately, they couldn’t find a way to make a living through music. They never stopped playing, though.

The three joined forces for the first time in the 2000s. Cantor and Rashbaum worked in the same building at the University of Colorado Boulder, and Cantor jumped in to play music with Rashbaum and LaForge as a bassist.

Cantor tapped in for the bassist of a band that Rashbaum and LaForge were a part of, Too Much Jones, named after the founders and head brothers of the band, Mark and Craig Jones. On one of the nights Cantor tapped in for rehearsal, only he, Rashbaum, and LaForge came to the rehearsal room.

The three decided to jam and see what happened, and they realized they could form a band on their own. Craig, wanting to step away from a long-term band project, is now considered one of the godfathers of the new project the three formed, now called The CBDs.
