Bursting on the scene in 1972 with their critically acclaimed self-titled debut on Elektra Records, Aztec Two-Step’s first album and three subsequent albums for RCA Records were staples of progressive FM and college radio, and helped usher the music of the 1960s into the '70s and beyond. Since then, Rex Fowler and Neal Shulman have spent a lifetime making music together as the folk-rock duo that takes its name from a poem by beat poet Lawrence Ferlinghetti. The duo has performed on stages worldwide including Carnegie Hall and Lincoln Center, been critically acclaimed in major U.S. newspapers, reviewed in Rolling Stone Magazine, and appeared on numerous radio and TV shows, including The King Biscuit Flour Hour and David Letterman. The duo's 1986 “Living In America” received the New York Music Award for Best Folk Album and was named in Billboard’s year-end critic’s poll, and they were the subject of the 1999 “No Hit Wonder,” a documentary that aired on PBS. Aztec Two-Step continues to impress audiences with intelligent songwriting, dazzling acoustic lead guitar, and inspiring harmonies, and they remain one of acoustic music’s most respected and enduring acts. And on a local nostalgic note, back in 1971 before their debut album was even released, Rex & Neal came up from NYC to do a week-long residency at Cornell’s Johnny Parsons Club. And of course then went on to play The Unicorn on State Street, more dates than they can remember.
