Joined vocally by Paige Anderson and Emilie Rose of Two Runner and backed by the trio of Bailey Warren, Antonio Romero, and Red McAdam, Old I-5 creates a warm invitation into exploring the spaces where surrender leads to new ways of being.
“The Old 395’s first single “The Word” is a throwback sonic experience reminiscent of the late 60’s folk revival.Somewhere between early Dylan, Rolling Stones and Doc Watson.
This tune combines five string banjo, pedal steel guitar with rock ‘n’ roll drums and bass, tastefully surrounding the honest yet playful lyrics of Charlie Marks.
His unique voice effortlessly cutting through the honkytonkin high desert musical atmosphere that reflects the bands life out on the road and home on their ranch just north of Reno Nevada”

Two Wheels, streaming now, is the second single off of Richard Gans upcoming debut record, Before the Poppies Bloom
Two wheels is a prayer for safe passage, devoted to the sweet saint of the road, as Gans faces a dark night with grace, faith, and surrender, and in doing so, divines a path back home
This release is accompanied by a music video which takes Gans on two wheels from the heart of the city, across the high desert, all the way to the California coast
One cannot help but be reminded that Townes Van Zandt once sang “to live is to fly, low and high”, and Two Wheels is a testament to embracing the flight of life even in the lowest, darkest, and most divided of times. It is the reminder that the Sun will rise again and that it is never too late to pray for a new day
Yuba is the first single off of Richard Gans’ upcoming, debut release, Before the Poppies Bloom. Gans carries on the torch of the great prophets of the American Highway, transforming two lanes and open country into the mythic realm where the soul seeks all the salvation a rumbling engine can offer.
