We have just released our new full-length CD, "What Henry Ford Forgot." Buy it now from CD Baby.
We rock big Brooklyn Americana in the tradition of
The Band, The Basement Tapes, The
Byrds, Fairport Convention, and all the
great old-time, early country, Appalachian,
and folk-rock you've ever heard.
We're a five-piece band led by Jay Zasa,
Rickenbacker 12-string and vocals, who
also writes the songs. Strong songwriting and vivid, imagistic lyrics are the hub around which the band revolves.
The band also includes Mat Kane, violin,
also of the Doc Marshalls and the Trophy
Wives, Chaim Tolwin on drums, Tony Soll on
Bass (Tony toured with John Hammond Jr.
back in the day among other accomplishments), and Andy Bienen, professor of screenwriting at Columbia, on piano.
