Biography
"Polly Jean meets Chan Marshal in a major blues meltdown." That pretty much describes Lipkin's mix of simple guitar licks, sultry vox, and songwriting style- steeped in powerchords and blues scales. As for the revolving players in the Easies- they got soul. Bassist Jeff Linton hails from Detroit and finds solace in The Delta Blues sounds of the 50's. Kevin Hoyas, guitar, drums, enjoys that Garage music of the 60's- The Kinks, The Who, The Flamin' Groovies….Because Kevin works at Waterloo Records he sees his fair share of what's old & new. As for Drummer Johnny Mac- he swamped in from New Orleans and brings an extensive musical background that starts in A and ends in Z…constantly playing records on his 'ole phonograph.
Lipkin, a.k.a. DD Dagger's, first instrument was Saxophone. On it she learned how to hold her own in jazz combos as well as rock and roll horn sections. From that base she draws on musical harmonies, melodies, and rhythms inspired by daily events or expressions to write The Easies music. Beginning with their first release on Topple Records this month and a video out for their single "Money", the band will seek more live venues to perform in and outside of their residence in Austin, Tx
