MEN FROM NOWHERE Men from Nowhere

Popis:

"The Men From Nowhere" are a group of musicians centered around guitarist Jelle van Atten AKA Joe Sixpack. Between 2022 and 2024 he recorded a great number of instrumental compositions, with various lineups. 12 of these songs have been selected for the new LP/CD "The Men From Nowhere" (self-titled). Joes international stage experience started many years ago, mainly within the rockabilly subculture. Earlier with his band the Ragtime Wranglers he took an occasional side trip to a different musical genre. At his new recordings he expands and explores this trip. Important musical influences are the American acts he accompanied at various festivals around the world. These include The Collins Kids with guitar legend Larry Collins. For the recordings, Joe singularly handpicked musicians, all known for their versatility, virtuosity and technical skills; like Benjamin Herman on tenor sax, Arjan Spies (The Kik) on drums and Donn La Fontaine (T-99) on double bass amongst others. The recordings are mixed by Marcel Fakkers at PAF! Studio in Rotterdam NL and mastered by Warren Defever at Third Man Records Detroit USA. 11 of the 12 songs on the record are written by Joe. The variety of stylistic influences makes it impossible to link the album to one specific musical-genre, hence "From Nowhere". This eponymous album is a passionate statement for instrumental music and contains an eclectic mix of American roots styles such as surf, country, soul and rock'n roll. The LP and CD will be in stores 17 October 2025
