South Bend, Indiana‘s The Rutabega — singer-songwriter/guitarist Josh Hensley and drummer/carpist Garth Mason — have been weaving punchy, short pop songs and sweeping, ten-minute epics together seamlessly since 2011.
“Leading Up To” — their third full-length album and second for Comedy Minus One — builds off 2013’s “Brother the Lights Don’t Work” and 2016’s “Unreliable Narrator,” and closes the trilogy with a poignant return to some sonic and emotional churn. Released digitally on October 28th, 2022 with a vinyl pressing that followed March 17th, 2023.
