Album Notes

In 1999 Adrian Sicam and Mark Shilansky found themselves (along with their friend Eric Byers) entertaining drunken revelers at weddings all over New England. From this inauspicious meeting, they discovered each others' talents for performing and improvising in creative, soulful ways, their shared passion for certain artists (Dylan, Joni), and their penchant for wringing new magic out of songs with innovative arrangement ideas (as well as their unique songwriting voices). Now, finally available due to the magic and accessibility of the kind folks at CDbaby, you can enjoy their debut EP "Jazz N Soul" via download only.
