Crossroads Coffeehouse will kick off its 20th concert season on Sept. 13 with Aztec Two-Step, a group the coffeehouse calls "one of acoustic music's most popular and enduring acts."
Rex Fowler and Neal Shulman have spent a lifetime making music together as the folk/rock duo Aztec Two-Step. Their first album on Elektra Records, and their subsequent albums for RCA Records, were staples of progressive FM and college radio and helped bring the music of the '60s into the the '70s.
In 1987 "Living in America" received the New York Music Award for Best Folk Album and was named in Billboard's year-end critics' poll. Praised in major media outlets such as Rolling Stone, and having appeared on numerous television and radio shows such as David Letterman, King Biscuit Flour Hour, and World Cafe Live,the group was the subject of a 1999 documentary that aired on PBS.
In 2007, when "Forever Changing - The Golden Age of Elektra Records 1963-1973" was issued by Rhino Records, the 5-CD box set included "The Persecution and Restoration of Dean Moriarty (On The Road)," Aztec Two-Step's ode to Jack Kerouac's groundbreaking novel of the Beat Generation.
