“What first intrigued me about Ryan Lee Crosby is how rare he is on paper: a former English major and post-punk rocker who can channel 1930s Mississippi.” - Lauren Daley, WBUR/NPR
“Crosby’s sighing vocals and precise fingerpicking lay bare the ineffable sorrow at the Bentonia sound’s core”
- Matt R. Lohr , Living Blues Magazine
Arthur Terembula is a passionate student of the country blues and ragtime guitar. A time traveler that transports you into the sounds of juke joints and city streets in the 1920's and 1930's. He reimagines songs from those times, rewriting and interpreting the sounds of Charley Patton, Skip James, Robert Johnson, Blind Blake, Son House, and other various country blues figures. You can find Arthur with his ear close to a speaker and guitar in hand, humming and whittling away at the fretboard.
