One week, one band. You know the drill.
This week, the featured artist is the Marry a Thief.
Lonely ol' November is winding up for its last swing at bat. Next week all the leaves will have departed from their trees, the department stores will be even more crowded, all the leftover turkey will have been eaten, and any remnants of Halloween will be discarded in favor of pine trees with lights all over them. But it's not all chilly and sad out there, we're entering one of the most joyous seasons around! Let's give November it's due and proper, one last time.
Marry a Thief is a trio hailing from Columbia, South Carolina. Formerly the solo act of Eric Skelton (you listened to him, right?!), a couple extra band members materialized out nowhere to make a little band with a beautiful brand of music. Taking Skelton's already sweet, soothing lyrical prowess and sensitive acoustic guitar-jamming, and giving it a pick-me-up that only the sound a full band can produce, Marry a Thief brings a luscious brand of original music to your ears!
Frankly, it was hard for me to say what kind of music they DO play. Their style encompasses a lot of different sounds; a little country, and little folky, a little indie, and much more. Don't let my wavering explanations change your mind, go check them out! Eric Skelton has his own record, Some Other City, for sale still, as well as Marry a Thief's more recent release, One More Smile, Fake As the Night is Blue, both for sale on their Myspace. They'd love it if you checked out the site and maybe left them a comment!
