Floridian songstress and multi-media artist Erin Murphy (The Equines, Sven and the Fury, Tiny Ensemble, Finch House Records, The Closet) and NJ/Philly-based cellist/ guitarist Greg Bortnichak (Sparta Philharmonic, The Metal Hearts, Richard Cortez, Circa Survive), have teamed up to form Bard and Mustache -a group that features both members as co-songwriters, instrumentalists, and fire-eyed gypsy vagabonds. Their first EP is titled Falcor’s Burning Belly and will be released March 4th as a tour-only, limited run CD-R, featuring the single “I Am Not”, available for free download here: http://bardandmustache.bandcamp.com/track/i-am-not
