Coming in 2026! Our second album! Welcome to the Contemplating Waves band page on Indie Music People. We are: Russ Foreman and Larree Hollywood. Russ and Larree have been creating music together since the 1970s. They started out as an acoustic duo, and later played together in the bands Tulpa, We (with singer/songwriter Peri Traynor), and Inhabitants of the Western Wasteland. Contemplating Waves history: In the Spring of 2021 Russ invited Larree to join a new band with him and his old drummer, Chuck Hippert, and together they laid down the foundation for the band. Russ decided to call the first jam they recorded Contemplating Waves because it was spacey and meditative. Larree dug the name so much he suggested it as a band name just so they could be a band with a theme song, like Iron Butterfly or The Monkees, and Russ and Chuck agreed. Chuck left the band after about 18 months, and Russ and Larree decided to keep on Contemplating Waves as a duo. Thanks for listening. Current lineup (2025-2026): Russ Foreman - guitars, bass, keys, vocals, production, and mixing, Larree Hollywood - guitars, vocals Original lineup (2021-2022): Russ Foreman - guitars, bass, keys, vocals, production, and mixing; Chuck Hippert - Drums; Larree Hollywood - guitars, vocals Contemplating Waves MP3s are available on bandcamp.

Only In a Dream A dream from a world that existed many thoushands of years ago. This song from our forthcoming album sets the tone for our musical adventure.
Looking Into the Ocean I played this song with my first band, August Roads, in the mid 1970s. The song was written by Greg Barber. It was much fun to record this with Contemplating Waves. Added to Feature Songs station 10/14/2025 4:32:14 PM
