The “Morning Martyrs” (Ryan Duchene, Ricky Petraglia,
and Erik) first played together in the “Blind Woods” (a.k.a.“The
Andrea Belanger Band”). Among that band’s many performances were
2011 and 2012 appearances at the Bonneroo Music and Arts Festival.
Blending their diverse musical backgrounds - ranging from folk to
hip-hop, country, and jazz to electronica -- each member spins their
own unique section of the collective cosmic web of Americana.
