LowRay are another in the long line of Trans-Atlantic musical partnerships. For his part in the duo singer and guitarist Dan Fowlds (Bump, Pill Hill) looked east to David Bowie, Black Sabbath and The Rolling Stones alongside his Americana influences while growing up. A musical career started in NE MPLS in the 1980s woodshedding in his parent's basement later moved on to contest wins, touring and recording over the next 30 years. James Irving (22-20s) was very much looking back the other way from his English homeland. Son of a Jazz pianist he was a big band drummer in his youth before eventually landing a gig with 22-20s - a deep south influenced 4 piece renowned for their fearsome, blues soaked live performances. Now they come together for their debut EP 'Columbia', a 6 track EP of new material featuring some of the Twin Cities best musical talent.
