Thomas Truax Birmingham, UK
"Thomas Truax crafts rich, poetically evocative songs about insects, trees, technology, and a lifelong obsession with all
things lunar. He travels the world performing with his "band" of bizarre self-made instruments including a motorized drum machine made with bike wheels and a souped-up Gramophone called 'The Hornicator', as well as his venerable guitar 'Hank'.

How to Make It in Hollywood
by Curtis Eller
Curtis and I toured together in America and discovered that we were kindred spirits in that we both like to stand on bars and table tops. He plays some fine banjo on a couple of my own recordings.

I just can't say enough about Gemma Ray. There's a longing and a magic, cinematic, dream quality between her voice, guitar, and the worlds she creates. I was a fan before we ever worked together.

by Steve Lawson
supported by 6 fans who also own “Horse's Perspective from a Trailer on a Motorway”

As ever, "jazztronic", "folkalicious", "popstewed", "calypsodelic" and other cute blender-type adjectives apply.

These recordings transcend the bass guitar and it’s role in popular music. This music is fresh, honest, and expertly played. It’s ambient and funky, it’s soulful and progressive. It’s Steve Lawson to a tee. Headphones recommended.
