“Why does a bird sing? Because it has a song”
Kàsh Mojo is an outsider. He’s not like you. And he’s not like me either..far out from the couture cutting displays and bohemian hipsteratti encampments of the New York’s and the LA’s or the nouveau riche Austin’s, Kàsh Mojo (Kàsh, pronounced KHA-sh, the backward apostropheis a grave mark supposed to indicate a lower sounding vowel) is book-bound to the New Mexico legal system. An earnest man trying to make a living in that notoriously chimeric and famously dishonest appendage of Americanism: the justice system. Much like John Prine or Bill Withers before him, inhabiting an everyman quality is not just some function of the characters in his songs, it’s who he is. There’s a plain spoken and unencumbered approach to Mojo’s writing that pretty much disarms any pretense of trying to be cloy or smart or even worse, disingenuous.

Kàsh Mojo Is Galveston Gone For Townes Van Zandt
The Albuquerque troubadour mourns the death of a hero in his moving debut single.
Named after the location of Van Zandt’s notorious psychiatric ward stay, the song finds the Albuquerque singer-songwriter’s booming baritone crooning soulfully about the love, opportunities, and memories lost in Townes’ tumultuous life — supported by a catchy bassline, baritone sax, and guitar that builds up to a gorgeously fuzzed-out and wailing lament.
