Duff McKagan and The Levee Walkers Release New Songs
In 2015, Guns N’ Roses bassist Duff McKagan teamed up with Pearl Jam guitarist Mike McCready and Screaming Trees drummer Barrett Martin for a new group called the Levee Walkers. Based in Seattle, the band recently recruited local singer-songwriter Ayron Jones to release the songs “All Things Fade Away” and “Madness” on a two-song EP.
The downtempo, introspective “All Things Fade Away” premiered on Rolling Stone and features McKagan laying down a pad of bass with a tasty crunch to it.
“Ayron is such a special and badass new Seattle artist,” McKagan told the magazine. “I went to a show of his last year in Seattle, and it was one of those that just simply made me realize how glad I am that I chose music as a path. Mike and Barrett are, of course, the best at what they do as well. I’m a proud Walker of Levees!”
The Levee Walkers EP is available now as a digital download and seven-inch vinyl.
