The phrase, Escaping Pavement means so much more to singer-songwriters Emily Burns and Aaron Markovitz than a name for a group. They also see it as a description of how they wish to live their lives. “In this very technology-based day and age, we feel it is more important now than ever to hold on to the things that ground us and remind us we’re all in this together. It’s about getting back to the essence of the human experience,” says Emily.
The Detroit, Michigan-based duo masterfully blends and blurs the lines of bluegrass, folk, country, and rock garnering favorable comparisons to artists as diverse as The Band, tastemaker/producer T Bone Burnett, The Civil Wars, and Emmylou Harris. Their unique, joint front-person arrangement that showcases their lush vocal harmonies is combined with melodic mandolin passages and hard driving guitar rhythms. When all of these elements collide, they allow for astounding musical interplay.
Being hailed as, “One of the best Americana bands out of Detroit” Escaping Pavement hopes to spread their roots-based message far beyond their home state. With a lengthy tour planned for summer 2017 they’ll be taking their “Americana-master blend” to the west coast and back making numerous stops along the way in Wyoming, Colorado, Indiana, Illinois, California, Missouri and many other states.
