Debut album coming soon! The 11-track John The Martyr album (which will be released on vinyl for Record Store Day, April 13, and digitally on June 14)
Genre: Rock, Soul, Blues, Jazz
Members: William Hudson Kyle Ridley Dustin DiSalvo Christopher Hines Martin Seiler Darren Denman Misia Vessio Chris Lucca Dillon Garrett Kiho Yutaka
Hometown: New Orleans/New York City
Record Label: Plus One Records
The 10-member troupe certainly has a unique story. It's fronted by 71-year-old New York singer Bill Hudson, who boasts a deep R&B and doo-wop pedigree. His chief collaborators are young NOLA players Kyle Ridley, Dustin DiSalvo and Chris Hines, who had moved north to make music in the melting pot. And melt they have, with a band that also includes a German saxophonist (Martin Seller), a Japanese violinist (Kiho Yutaka) and players from around North America. "I think the task was to not try to define, but let’s embrace whatever it sounds like without the label. That's the magic," Hudson tells Billboard. "It's kind of a gumbo -- just a bunch of different ingredients stirred together and the fruition of what we all sound like when it does."
