Contemplating Waves Wishes You a Festive and Safe Holiday Season

---

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, and Russ and Chuck agreed. Sadly, after about 18 months, Chuck left the band.

Russ and Larree are currently recording a new Contemplating Waves album scheduled for 2026 release.
