Cool collab! The piano and acoustic guitar makes this feel like I'm hearing this in a little saloon. Then the female backing singers and the organ give it a turn towards soul. Finally, the lyrics are a cool twist on what a "color" man is.

I don't know if you received my e mail. Our Siberian Solstice concerts are canceled (pianist brook her wrist and arm). NO concerts this weekend or till next year.

Farrell: maybe I should change my account name to "Bridge Bender"? Thanks for the kind review.

What a cool collaboration line up! Fine words, strummin' and vocals TV and Jacki. DCD keys flows on the song's water like an easy afternoon on Huck Finn's raft. Dave's bass keeps things moving like a bridge across the Mississippi. Gene's finely phased guitar work swaggers on the breeze like lichen in the trees (we need to hear more of DR and his guitar in future collabs!) A very colorful and enjoyable listen fellas and gal!

What made this collab even more fun than usual was being part of the debut of Gene Smith as a "recording artist" on Mixposure. Congratulations Gene.

The TrueVulgarians are a brother-sister duo hailing from just outside Cleveland, Ohio, having sung together for longer than they'd want to admit. Songs range from the melancholy to the ridiculous with a story-telling vibe. We're just a couple of amateur musicians who have the need to create and perform without expectation beyond that. All our tunes are written and arranged by (brother) William Thompson, who plays acoustic guitar and does the lead vocals. (Sister) Jacki Grapentine provides back-up vocals and much needed moral support and inspiration. We hope you enjoy our material as much as we do making it available here on Mixposure for public consumption.
We were fortunate to have our song, "Easy Way Out ft. Scotswolfe" voted the recipient of the Mixposure Rock Song Award for 2013! We have been fortunate to collaborate with some the finest independent musicians found here at Mixposure.com!
The TrueVulgarians were named Mixposure Artist of the Month for July, 2014!
Apart from being indie artists, Bill Thompson, the TrueVulgarian, hosts two live radio broadcasts on Tuesday (The Tuesday Night Jam!) and Friday (The TrueVulgarian Music Vivarium!) starting at 8 pm est spinning the great indie music found here at Mixposure.com and MIXSTREAM RADIO!
