ST LENOX
St. Lenox is the current project of Andy Choi. He was trained as a concert violinist at Juilliard, and learned the Great American Songbook at jazz jam sessions in Columbus, OH. He is an electronic singer-songwriter who employs sampling, classical melody lines, soul music and pop skill to write songs about politics, love, and the wonders of ordinary life.
ALBERT GOOLD
Albert is a bit of keys maestro, a precociousness that fulminates in a Baroque-Vaudeville-Death-Metal contraption. Joined by brother Charles on drums, father Ned on soprano sax, and Steve Conroy on bass.
