The Curtis Street Ensemble is an ever evolving musical project started 20 some years ago. Pedro Logan, Edible Seed and Starrio Dewarrio are old friends. Everyone lives in a different city. They rarely talk but always communicate with one another. The result is “We Are Serious.”

Fifteen years after the creation of “Curtis Street Ensemble,” Pedro Logan and Edible Seed were still walking the line between the ridiculous and the real.  Neither PL or ES are trained musicians. By stretching the imagination, manipulating technology, and worshipping the muse that they do not control, they created a timely record about the state of “manhood” in the 21st century.

Pedro Logan and Edible Seed live in different states, thousands of miles apart.  Technology has allowed them to collaborate from great distances, but being in one place together can offer great creative advantages.  "The Land" is comprised of three new tracks recorded in Shelby, MI. and a handful of remixed songs from Pedro Logan's "A Collection Of Ideas Born in Sound"

Life moves fast and sometimes changes almost overnight.  After the birth of his daughter and a slew of musician friends leaving L.A., Edible Seed was left with little free time, a house full of cheap instruments and a notebook full of unfinished songs.  He forged ahead when he could and spent two months on "The Land" in MI, sometimes recording in his truck in the woods during nap time.  The result is his first solo project.

ES is supported by constant collaborators Pedro Logan and Dan D.

Hummel Drive is where Pedro Logan lives and records.  Technology brought him back to making music, but a sense of place has always been important to his work.

The Hummel Drive EP is comprised of two covers and one new original track.  Logan greatly admires the immediate and unrefined nature of  Man Man and Thee Oh See's, but has managed to smooth out the edges so the songs fit his own personal narrative.

A Collection of Ideas Born in Sound presents a snapshot of life in a transitional phase. After many years away from making music, Pedro Logan finally returned to expressing his ideas through sound.

At its core, Noodle Water is folk music.  It is steeped in traditions started on back porches across the country.

When Dan D. and Edible Seed first met, they did not know they had a common interest in music.  It took years before the songs started flowing.

Edible Seed was playing drums in a garage funk-band when he started writing songs on his Ukulele.  He presented the songs to his bandmates, some of whom appreciated them.   He met Dan D. and The Dan’s Van Band was born.  Though short lived, TDVB represents a very happy and productive period of music making.

Born in "The Big House" basement, The Curtis Street Ensemble never shied away from their innate weirdness.  It was 1999. Ween was still on Elektra, and terrorism barely seemed relevant.
