Aztec Two-Step 2.0

Aztec Two-Step 2.0
featuring Rex Fowler, Dodie Pettit and Steven Muddy Roues

Originating from a chance meeting at a Boston folk club open mic night in 1971, Rex Fowler & Neal Shulman burst on the scene as Aztec Two-Step in '72 with their self-titled debut album on Elektra Records. This first album and their three subsequent albums for RCA Records made the duo staples of progressive FM and college radio, helping to usher the folk-rock music of the 1960s into the 1970s and beyond. Rex and Neal went on to spend a lifetime of making music together, earning innumerable accolades over the years while building a loyal fan base.

Following Neals 2018 retirement, original founding member, principal singer and songwriter Rex has continued on, expanding the band's musical legacy with his new ensemble Aztec Two-Step 2.0. With 2 and 3-part harmonies, multi-instrumental arrangements, and Dodie Pettits dazzling guitar work, theyve recaptured the feeling of Rex & Neals original studio recordings, at the same time putting a fresh spin on the songs. Still performing favorite ATS classics and old forgotten gems, the stage patter is still as engaging, fun, and poignant as ever!

The old songs done in this new lineup brought new life to the music. This truly is a band that people need to experience!! - Ron Olesko, WFDU-fm/ Folk Music Notebook/ Hurdy Gurdy Folk Music Club, NJ
