Description
Rock 'n Roll/Indie Alternative project GALVEZTON, moniker for prolific songwriter Robert Kuhn, announces upcoming album PERSEVERE. a nine song collection of psychedelic and sonically experimental tunes. Latest Single "Looking Glass" "was recorded and sent up into outer space to our astronaut friend Cristina Koch who spent a whole year at a space station, the longest time ever for a female. Tina is a surfer and was missing the ocean (and salsa), so we thought this psychedelic space surf number would go well for a zero-gravity dance party," details Kuhn.
The band originated in Galveston, Texas around 2012 when songwriter Kuhn moved to town from Nicaragua and started making friends by sharing his music at the historic Old Quarter Acoustic Cafe. At the time, the project was simply called Robert Kuhn, playing surf bars and listening rooms in the area. They cut a live album in 2014 at Sugarhill Studio entitled Everybody Knows (2014). It was embraced by the local press and commercially successful enough to free him from his day labour at a Houston Shirt Factory and devote time and energy to touring and playing music with his surf, rock 'n' roll, blues, folk and reggae band of friends which included the late great extra-terrestrial blues legend, Little Joe Washington. They toured all over the United States and Mexico until the last day of August 2019. While on the road in Western Colorado in support of their second release, Maria the Gun, Kuhn was in a nearly fatal van wreck that left him hospitalized in critical condition. He returned to Galveston six weeks later hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt, but happy to be alive at all. With funding and support from friends and fans from around the world, Kuhn began a long quiet healing process that yielded the album PERSEVERE.
