Protestant Work Ethic

about

protestant work ethic was started in 2003 as the solo outfit of simon usaty (kes). influenced by both new and old folk music, he created emotionally gripping songs with deliberately simple structures; omitting the superfluous, focusing on the musical and lyrical essence. quiet songs, accompanied by guitar, ukulele, banjo, accordion and glockenspiel: in this way simon recorded the first protestant work ethic album on his own - excerpts of it were released as an ep on the german netlabel 12rec in 2008. performing live, simon sometimes plays solo, sometimes with band - that's also how protestant work ethic's second album “the jar and shock” was done: some pieces were recorded mostly by simon on his own, some in full band-outfit, whereas the former ones make up the more peculiar, the latter ones the more easily accessible, buoyant songs of the album. current line-up: simon usaty: acoustic guitar, banjo, ukulele, vocals stephan bauch: bass, vocals david schweighart: guitar, vocals User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
