About the Album

Road Warrior is the third, official studio-release, from award-winning, Detroit-based, Americana duo, Escaping Pavement and their first release under the Reed Recording Company label. The five song EP follows 2016's The Night Owl which won the duo critical acclaim and was the first release that focused on the talents of Emily Burns and Aaron Markovitz in duo format; as opposed to their 2013 debut release's full-band sound. Road Warrior continues to focus on the sheer talents of the duo and the songs consist of a heavy, Bluegrass/Americana feel that Burns and Markovitz have described as, "Detroit-Bluegrass". Instead of leaning on a traditional bluegrass sound, the songs rely on some traditional bluegrass elements while mixing in a heavy dose of syrup-thick, harmonic, vocal surges, some tastefully understated drumming, and an Edgar-Meyer-esque, bowed, upright bass sound. Road Warrior is the first release since the band became a full-time, nationally touring outfit whose profile has been increasing year by year. With performances at performing arts centers, festivals, house concerts and official showcase slots at regional Folk Alliance conferences, this duo is spreading their "back-to-the-roots" based message far and wide.
