In this new era of Aztec Two-Step after Neal Shulman’s 2018 retirement, original founding member, principal singer and songwriter Rex Fowler continues on with their captivating songs (including some of Neal's originals), expanding the band's musical legacy with his new ensemble. With 2 and 3-part harmonies, multi-instrumental arrangements, and Dodie’s electrifying guitar work, Aztec Two-Step 2.0 recaptures the sound and feeling of Rex & Neal’s original studio recordings.

Joe began playing music at the age of 8. His first instrument, a clarinet, fell from a car and landed in his front yard.
