About Star & Micey

In the midst of the buzz surrounding Big Star’s “Keep An Eye On The Sky” Box Set and the reissue of Chris Bell’s “I Am The Cosmos” comes another Ardent related. The Ardent Music label has released Star & Micey's self titled debut October 20, 2009. While playful in nature, Josh Cosby, Geoff Smith, and Nick Redmond have created a collection of songs that reflect a churning emotion in heart. Notable Memphis musicians who make cameo appearances include Luther Dickinson (North Mississippi Allstars, The Black Crowes) on "So Much Pain,” Jody Stephens (Big Star) on "Nelson," and Rick Steff (Lucero, Cat Power) on "She's on Fire.”

“In the studio, magic happened - the band's self-titled debut is a blend of Memphis soul, lo-fi indie rock and singer-songwriter introspection. Cosby's wide-eyed optimism shines through like chips of ice flecking a windowpane in the deep still of winter. With help from Luther Dickinson of The Black Crowes and the North Mississippi Allstars and Jody Stephens of the pioneering outfit Big Star, the band has delivered a record that hums with unflappable faith.” – The Daily Times

"What will you get from Star & Micey? Terrific folk-infused pop music that’s melodic and infectious. Their tunes feel like intimate personal missives, but the personal touch is always light and upbeat. These guys are singing their blues and sending them out into the world, and the song that emerges is worth checking out.” – Times of Acadiana
