I’m excited to announce a new musical endeavor, a heavy blues project I’m calling BEEF BONE. Searing slide guitar, razor edge vocals, and hip shakin’ drums are the hallmarks of this band. I say band, but it’s really me as a one man band. Check out the brand new five song EP, “Bone to Pick”, available now digitally on Bandcamp and coming soon to limited edition CASSETTE!

About the album…

June 4th, 2021, marks ten years since the release of my first official album “Home to the Highway” in 2011.

This album of rarities, unreleased live and studio recordings, and side projects is a look back at my more formative years as a musician. The…

**NEW ALBUM** 

"Cool Iron" by Lon Eldridge & Steven Troch

ALL ABOOOAAARD! 

Travel to far-flung locales via the arcane medium of 78rpm record and let the music of exotic lands enchant and excite your eardrums!

These antique recordings, gathered from the four corners of the globe, will be presented upon a stunning 1905 Victor V-2 external horn gramophone and a c. 1925-30 HMV Model 103 for…

Every so often, I endure a bit of criticism because of my preference for mechanically (non-electrically) reproduced sound over electrically amplified recordings. This preference isn't just something I hold to because it's "hip" or "nostalgic". I truly believe that mechanically reproduced sound is the purest, most natural method of sound wave reproduction there is, and a territory that has gone vastly unexplored and undeveloped since the invention of electrical recording in the 1920s. In defense against my…
