Funky Sex Gods - Donning African robes, striped psychedelic shirts and sun glasses, here come The Funky Sex Gods. Their sound features Marc Black's guitar and voice. In the words of Relix reviewer, Phil Demetrion, "From the 70's down to the present day, Marc Black's chant-based songs and improvisational rave-ups have kept dancing souls movin' and groovin'. One might say that his live gigs presaged today's 'jam band' scene." available on CD Baby

Dark Light Dark - It's not about learning the music. It's about finding yourself in the music. Finding a resonance where your voice and the voices of those around you speak in their natural harmony.
This is the approach we've taken in the creation of this music. The players were coached in feelings. Words. Dreams.
The themes were stated simply, as you'd express a topic for conversation. Or a meal to be shared and enjoyed... available on CD Baby
