Roman Street - Lo-Fi Garden, Vol. 1 (2024)

Brothers Noah and Josh Thompson put their guitars together to form Roman Street. Since the college years, this brotherly jam session has developed into a Billboard/iTunes charting band who many have dubbed ‘the next generation’ of Jazz Fusion. Roman Street, named for an old roman street in the Alps where they studied guitar, is an internationally trained instrumental band specializing in improvisational fusion of Classical, Gypsy and Contemporary Jazz, Latin, and Nuevo Flamenco. A departure from the over-produced music that is out there today, they keep it simple—the beautifully organic sound of acoustic instruments played by talented people who love what they are doing. Whether performing as a guitar duo, or with a backing band, Roman Street astounds with music that appeals to fans of many genres.

Their new project is entitled Lo-Fi Garden Vol.1 (2024). Lo-Fi is a broad term that encompasses a variety of music styles. While it originally referred to music with low audio fidelity (quality), it has evolved into a genre characterized by a relaxed, nostalgic atmosphere blending Hip-Hop, Dream Pop and Jazz.

Roman Street comments: “We have always been big fans of a genre of music called “Lo-Fi”, and for years have wanted to create a combination of our music with this style! In our new release, we’ve remixed and reimagined 6 of our older songs in the stylings of Lo-Fi!
