When roots rock band Marah caught the ear of the Philly music scene in the late 90s, it was revered locally and internationally as an outstanding live band.  With their new album, Marah Presents Mountain Minstrelsy of Pennsylvania, Marah has once again captured the attention of listeners by arftully bringing folk music to song lyrics gathered by a local folklorist in the 1931 book Mountain Mintrelsy of Pennsylvania.

Since their 1998 debut "Let's Cut The Crap And Hook Up Later On Tonight", the Philly-based band Marah have won fans across the world with their eclectic, rootsy rock & roll. Fronted by the Bielanko Brothers - singer/songwriter/guitarist/banjoist Dave and guitarist/vocalist/harmonica player Serge, they also count as their fans author Nick Hornby, Bruce Springsteen (who played guitar and sang on their 2002 release Float Away With the Friday Night Gods) and Steve Earle (who signed the band to his label and released the band's 2000 release Kids In Philly).
