If there’s anyone who is swelling with Kansas pride, it’s Justin Marable. You can see it in everything he does. Most folks know him through his art, but he’s starting on a new venture with Interior Sea. Marable teamed up with Justin Hocking recently to stretch their wings in the music scene with a few melodic songs about life in the Midwest.

Up until now, the Justins (who live next to each other in Topeka), have been keeping it low key. But they’ve got a CD Release show coming up this Saturday at Blackbird, 4025 SW 10th St. in Fleming Place Center (10th and Gage) in Topeka. They will have two shows, one at 8:30 and one at 10:30.

I talked to them about their upcoming venture, you can see the interview below. I’ve also recorded a couple of songs so you can get a taste of what’s coming up.
