Two Gallants

October 25th, 2007


The duo of guitarist and singer Adam Stephens and drummer Tyson Vogel formed in San Francisco in 2002, taking their band name from a story out of James Joyce's Dubliners and gaining a local following in the Bay Area for their scruffy, blues-colored rock. A wider national reputation was quick to follow after relentless touring and a handful of self-released efforts. The band signed with Saddle Creek records in 2005, and won UK audiences at both the Reading and Leeds festival that year. Saddle Creek released What the Toll Tells in 2006 and a self-titled LP followed in 2007. - Nate Cavalieri
