Influences from Steely Dan, Tom Waits, the Band, Dylan, Billy Joel, Harry Neilson and The Beatles to Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, Jimmy McGriff and onward.. City slick meets hillbilly soul and goes hippy hopping thru pastures of multicolored Amercana Rock on a nobby tired green bike. Sometimes smooth, sometimes bumpy, but always thinking and chasing the winds right down to the waterhole. So get the patchouly, dim the lights and sit back and enjoy this musical journey you've stumbled upon. Mascot's Distance is a Jordon Rothstein's project and his debut album.
