About Me



Alex Shteyman

    "The 1921A is a unique group that features a singer, an upright bass, various guitar-like instruments, and amazingly... a junk-yard drummer. Their songs harken back to 1930s-era blues and folk music, delivered with a punchy execution..."

Music Emissions

    "Before the Internet, music from a specified region was defined by the local mores that influenced musician’s lives. Now, thanks to new technology, pop culture has become global and as a result, music has begun to sound generic. The 1921A understands this and it’s the reason they’ve developed so singular a sound. It would be impractical to compare them to any other present-day band. The 1921A is in no way a “throwback” band"
