Acoustic Music with Electric Instruments - music for the blue states
Bio / Background
Steven Brant and the Phantoms... Acoustic Music with Electric Instruments.
Steven creates patriotic music for the Blue States - and the blue states we sink into. Songs range from the overtly political to the politically evocative to songs about life's ebb and flow.
For example, It's My Flag Too is an ode to us patriots who've been excluded by the rantings on the right, who believe not just in the flag but in the promise for which it stands. As he sings, "We're taking it back; we should have done it before/Can't leave you alone with it anymore/This country is both mine and yours.... Didn't your mamma teach you manners or did you forget/It's my flag too."
In The Man Behind the Curtain, Steve and the band are the gust of wind blowing back the curtain of the presidency to reveal the man working the machines and levers. "He crosses his fingers, then he swears to tell the truth/But I don't recall seeing his name in the voting booth.... The Great Oz says, Pay no attention....
