Leon III
Leon III (say it “Leon the Third”) is Andy Stepanian (vocals, guitar, songwriter) and Mason Brent (guitar, bass, banjo) along with a revolving cast of studio and live players. The duo takes another step deeper into the psych-folk wilderness with their forthcoming sophomore album, Antlers in Velvet (MonoSonic).
Like their self-titled 2018 debut, Antlers in Velvet elicits the help of producer Mark Nevers (Silver Jews, Bonnie "Prince" Billy ) and musicians such as Matt Pence (Centro-matic), William Tyler, Kai Welch, Jordan Caress (Ponychase), Tony Crow (Lambchop), Dana Colley (Morphine) & Paul Niehaus (Calexico).
Many know Stepanian and Brent from their other band, Wrinkle Neck Mules, a 19+ year old project with a cult-like following that, to date, has 7 albums of cerebral country and bluegrass-leaning rock under it’s belt. They also collaborate on Howler Brothers, a popular outdoor clothing line based in Austin, Texas, which they help operate and which bears their artistic imprimatur.
