"Their musical friendship seems to shine through in their folk stylings, with guitars counteracting, then swinging back into balance. ." -- Austin Town Hall
Austin musicians Ralph White (Bad Livers) and Steve Marsh (Terminal Mind, Evil Triplet) share a track from their forthcoming full length collaboration Two Distinguished Gentlemen today via Austin Town Hall. Hear and share "Ledge" HERE. (Direct Soundcloud.)
A slice of New Weird America, Two Distinguished Gentlemen, rooted in folk & blues, steeped in psychedelia (including an entrancing take on King Crimson's "I Talk To The Wind"), is the electroacoustic melding of two of Austin's long-time idiosyncratic musicians, Ralph White and Steve Marsh. 21st-century troubadours, Ralph and Steve cycle through heartbreak, loss, protest and spiritual renewal.
Ralph White - voice, fiddle, fretless banjo, fretless guitar, kalimbas, accordion
Steve Marsh - voice, electric 2x4, electronics, treatments, theremin, foot stomps
Two Distinguished Gentlemen will be available on cassette, CD and download on February 23rd, 2018 via Self Sabotage Records, a division of Super Secret Records. Pre-orders are available HERE.
