theMilkMan
About the Band:
- Marcus Milius - throat, guitar, and harmonica, and quarters (Contact me for booking)
Traditional Blues Vocals, Guitar and Harmonica. theMilkMan is Marcus's affair with the power of the word, and his flirtation with the honesty and imperfection of blues music. Calling on the blues traditions of the great delta walking musicians from Charley Patton to Muddy Waters, this a one man act that sounds just like a trio. First takes and living with the mistakes is what this music is all about. All live and coming alive; bluesy throat, guitar, harmonica and quarters weave the musical styling and spontaneity of John Lee Hooker with the storytelling and humor of Tom Waits.

I Can't Believe It's Not Brother! Was recorded guerrilla style in two short sessions. No over-dubs, no editing, these are all live takes with all the instruments being played simultaneously. The songs were a culmination of several years of writing but often changed during the session. The first track was written 5 minutes before the second session, walking from the subway to the Harlem studio of Robbin Harris. The project's goal was to capture the energy, spontaneity and honesty of theMilkMan's live performances. Everything from the package design to the music you hear was conceived by the artist and brought to you the listener. It is released on Marcus' own MenosEsMas Music record label. There is no middle man... It's just you and theMilkMan.
