Low Travelers is a songwriting and recording collaboration between Rich Hyland and Erik Messal. With musical elements of the 70s and 90s, Low Travelers blends beautifully rich music with image-laden lyrics to create a dark Americana sound. “I Am Only Asking” is the first song in what we hope will be a long and productive creative collaboration.

This track is the theme song for Chad Rinn's graphic novel, Snake Blood Coffee currently available at www.webtoons.com. Set in our current world with characters based on real belly dancers, the StarBelly Dancers set out on a series of adventures that begin with a cup of this dark brew. The result is a contemporary re-envisioning of the Medusa myths.
