This unique Los Angeles band creates a new yet nostalgic sound.  The band is free spirited, and does not like to put labels on their style of music.  They create art and are truly talented individuals.  For more information on Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros research their music label Community Music or the Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros band website.
