Their sound is not unlike a band of swaggering Lotharios caught between yesteryear and today. The three time Madison Area Music Award winner’s sound combines the sax-powered crunch of Morphine with the crazed-circus gypsy-swing genius of Firewater. Tom Ray’s addictive voice rasps and growls over grimy guitar, saxophone, and all kinds of slinky rhythms. Mark Whitcomb’s off-the-cuff brilliance as a guitar player is extremely engaging… —sometimes a little swing, sometimes a little Balkan, but always elusive and infectious.
When Vocalist Tom Ray first named the concept that would become the band Lorenzo’s Music back in the early 90’s, he may not have imagined that many eclectic yet palpable recordings would be made, about a hundred songs would be co-written with other lorenzo-ites, and thanks to a nonstop web presence, a worldwide following would be built for the band.
Likewise, engineer and guitarist Mark Whitcomb first recorded Lorenzo’s self titled ep on a 4 track recorder, he probably didn’t know that he would one day own and operate one of the elite recording and production houses in the Midwest.
As a band that reinvents itself with every new record, 2008 finds a new Lorenzo’s Album “Bazar”, their 4th studio record, which is released under Creative Commons License like the 3 previous records. Mostly a rock record, with a slight venture into experimental styled pop.
