Joe and Mark are joined by Evan Gary Hirsch and Kip Baldwin, who make up the duo Soul Twin Messiah (STM).

Evan Gary Hirsch [pictured right], AKA The Blue Rocker, gets his aesthetic from his blue eyes and glitzy clothes. A California boy, he’s into many different forms of music — classic rock, new wave, punk and psychedelic rock.

Kip Baldwin [pictured left], AKA Oshallah, is a farm kid from Washington State, where his family raised racehorses. When he was young, he had an experience of infinity that changed his perspective on everything. He moved to the Bay area in 1985 specifically for a musical community. He spent a lot of years doing “hair metal” music, which was popular at the time.

Evan jokes that Senator Bernie Sanders brought the two together. In 2016 he was looking for a producer to help him document his support of the politician and that’s how Evan and Kip met.

Both artists have a central message, which is the importance of LOVE and selflessness.

That informs their choice of media. Kip champions the classic John Lennon song Imagine (1971). Evan makes the case for why we should give Construction Time Again (1983) by Depeche Mode another listen.

An inspiring and hopeful conversation!

Kip Baldwin (Oshallah) and Evan Gary Hirsch (The Blue Rocker) bring a message of peace and unity to the human family. They want to inspire us to alter course and to write a more hopeful next chapter in the human story. The Soul Twins are the coaches, players, and cheerleaders for a new way of living, and bring you their rock ‘n’ roll anthems for inspiration, and their LOVE Paradigm Manifesto as the new guidebook.

Soul Twin Messiah’s (STM) music is classic rock in its purest sense, and follows in the footsteps of rock pioneers such as Led Zeppelin and Queen, who pulled from almost every popular style of the music of their day to create their own distinctive but familiar sound. STM songs have catchy hooks to groove their way into your head, where they will deliver messages intended to awaken consciousness with the raw emotionalism of rock n roll and a clear and unwavering message of LOVE (the all caps kind).

Their self-titled new album is now available!
