Mekong Xpress - Common Knowledge - Vinyl Record

Composed of Richmond, VA seasoned musicians, the members of Mekong Xpress have been active musicians for many years - recording and touring with national artists including Matthew E. White, Natalie Prass, Chris Jacobs, Dave Matthews Band + many more. It wasn't until An Mekong, the owner of Vietnamese restaurant Mekong and sister brewery The Answer Brewpub in Richmond, pressured them to play together after noticing that the restaurant was full of musicians every Monday night. What started as a fun jam-session among friends turned into a weekly gig and eventually into the debut album Common Knowledge. The band's debut album is a testament to the rock legends of the 60s/70s, with hazy guitars, bluesy brass, melodic keys and layered vocals on a 9-track collection that the band created as a playlist for what they love to listen to. Drawing inspirations from a wide range of artists - from Claude Debussy to Prince, The Band, Bob Dylan, James Brown and Marvin Gaye - the album is every individual artist in a blender reinventing Rock, R&B, Funk and a little southern Gospel.Light OnCommon KnowledgeGamesLife Is a DreamPushbackCan't Keep Foolin'Canyon RoadFind YourselfDo Your Job
