Bio / Background
When they were both four years old, Matty McBride and Ben Joseph went to Temple Shalom Preschool together. 12 years later, they got back in touch and started making music together. But they needed a band.
Matty knew a drummer, John Moxley. John had a brother, Peter, who played guitar. They all went to school with Matt Rankin, who played saxophone and keyboard. Ben played bass; even though he could play any other instrument just as well, it was decided that he would play bass. Matty played guitar and sang at the same time. Ben knew a violinist named Clara Brill, so she joined too.
Taking their name from the title of a John McPhee book, Art & Ransom started writing. After they had enough songs for a thirty minute set, they started playing shows. In early 2006, they recorded and released, by themselves, the "Blind Trumpeteer EP," which had most of the first songs they had written together on it.
