  • Bio

    With an accordion-esque sonic palate, the Martha Dumptruck Massacre’s music shifts dynamics like its ever-changing group of performers. The constant here is Joel Alter, frontman and steady guide to the MDM ark. Other key figures on board include Emily Moeller (viola) and Scott Wiener (multi-instrumentalist, production). Their songs cut across the peculiar fabrics that form the story between human connections, expanding and collapsing with a wide range of instrumentation. .. The Martha Dumptruck Massacre, originally based in Syracuse, NY, is evolving into a Brooklyn institution, and can be seen in sizes ranging from the orchestral fleet to the lone sailor Joel performing across the US and UK. .. Playing like a lullaby for the clandestine set, the MDM’s musical assembly is an enchanting one.

Playing like a lullaby for the clandestine set, the MDM’s musical assembly is an enchanting one.
