My Benevolent City (EP)
My Benevolent City is the second of five, 5-song EPs which will ultimately make up the 2025 collection Saturday Morning Car Tunes. Featuring drummer Ron Simasek, multi-instrumentalist Bret Alexander and songwriter / musician Ric Albano, this is a large collection made of “basement tapes” with a few unreleased studio cuts that we’ve planning to release in total in February 2025. Prior to the official release, during the Autumn and Winter of 2024/25 we will intermittently drop these EPs on this website and other select online locations.
