for more information

The sixth incarnation of Wax Poetic is here! The new album titled “On a Ride” is finely focused on lyrics and mood and the more traditional song structures firmly entrenched in the Americana vein. The music still has echoes of the Nublu sound, but is in fact a very distinctly American record steeped in the traditions of all that encompasses. Multitalented singer, songwriter, and guitarist Gabriel Gordon builds seamlessly on the driving, atmospheric sounds Ilhan Ersahin has created, as do newcomer, vocalist Sissy Clemens with her smoldering and reflective compositions. Norah Jones, Natalie Walker and Jovanotti also make a special appearance on the new album to round out the various vocal flavor. The album is now available on iTunes, Amazon and at many of your favorite outlets.

We will play at Nublu’s 10th anniversary celebrations… If u will be around NY, Please come and see us on June 10.. for more information, please check  nublu’s web site.. www.nublu.net

Please come and join us for a unique acoustic performance on May 22, 2012.

Wax Poetic’s newest album “On A Ride” is set for release in the fall of 2012. It marks a definitive and vibrant new direction for the collaborative project headed by Ilhan Ersahin while also remaining true to the heart of what Wax Poetic has always been—an exceptional blending of musical styles and influences.
Growing out of the transnational East Village music scene of the late 90s, Wax Poetic was the brainchild and collective creation of polymathic musician Ilhan Ersahin. At its core, it is the product of Ersahin, who has now recruited singer and lyricist Sissy Clemens and multitalented musician Gabriel Gordon on vocals, Shawn Pelton on drums, Tina Kristina on bass, Zeke Zima on guitar and Ersahin himself on keyboards.
It flows in a familiar vein that may appeal to a somewhat wider audience than some of the jams Nublu is known for, but it’s not quite “pop” in the strictest sense. The band is headed in a bright new territory while still retaining the distinctly organic vibe that is known as Wax Poetic. This single is a sneak peak of the anticipated album that’s to come.
