For the May edition of The Underground, we've got folk/Americana duo Beggars' Bargain!Bio:
Beggars' Bargain is a Folk/Americana duo featuring Joe Bach and Micah Spurlock, currently based in Des Moines, IA.
Their unique sound is rooted in their diverse backgrounds: Joe, originally from Ida Grove, IA, honed his skills in Chicago, drawing inspiration from the soulful storytelling of Amos Lee and Ray Lamontagne. Micah, from Mineral Wells, TX, brings a foundation built on the blues energy of Stevie Ray Vaughn and the folk sensibility of artists like Willie Nelson and Jack Johnson.
For both artists, creating music has always been a powerful vehicle for coping with life’s trials. Beggars' Bargain is driven by the belief that music is a force for positivity and change. Their mission is simple: to share their story and create songs that resonate in a meaningful way.
Their upcoming debut album is a rich tapestry of life experiences, weaving together introspective themes of purpose, love, sadness, and even a bit of playful goofiness. They perform as an engaging two-guitar, two-vocal act, mixing original songs with a vast range of covers that make them suitable for any environment, from breweries and bars to charity galas.
