The Altered Statesman is both a recorded and live performance musical situation created in 1998 by Steve Poulton as an outlet for his songs. The line up changes frequently, and always includes an interesting cast of characters. The current lineup (as of 02/09) includes Scott Martin on drums, with regular assistance from Jennifer Halenar on violin and Joe McMahan appearing in the role of musical swiss-army knife. Recent appearances have featured Luke Schneider and Zach Wilson. The Altered Statesman's latest releases and back catalog are available in discerning record stores and at www.blacklabelempire.com/alteredstatesman. Read more on Last.fm.
