MORE ABOUT MERLOT EMBARGO: In December 2014 we walked away from a nearly fatal automobile accident, and left the scene wondering what we'd have regretted if we'd been killed. The answer was immediately obvious: not pursuing our own music. This brush with death unleashed a flood of drive and creativity that propelled us to form Merlot Embargo and leave our creative stamp on the world. We recruited (bassist) Jeremy, (drummer) Lonn and video game composers Dave and Ben to complete our sound. Truth be told, we had been playing with these guys for years on other projects, and we knew they were right for for Merlot Embargo. Their musical experience and good taste helped lead us in unique directions that we'd just not have imagined on our own. Scarlet's sultry, powerful voice and Geoff's groovy guitar-ing became something both bigger, and subtler. "A modern-day, unconventional family band" is how Scarlet describes the group.
