Luba Dvorak - American Sin (2019)

American Sin is the latest album from country-rocker Luba Dvorak (pronounced DVOR-zhack). In black attire and armed with an acoustic guitar Luba has been called a Springsteen-Dylan-Cash combo. The ten song release takes influence from artists like Gary Stewart and Dwight Yoakam, with bright, raw guitar hooks and honest songwriting.

The result is an easily-accessible guitar album that provides a classic country feel with a hint of the iconic Bakersfield Sound mixed with Texas Honky-Tonk and marinated in some New York Swagger. A style that Luba defines as “Brooklyn Twang.”

His heart-on-your-sleeve songwriting style resonates through raw, heart-wrenching vocals delivered in a relatable live off-the-floor style. The album was recorded in just one day at Atomic Sound in Brooklyn, New York.

Luba Dvorak has had a passion for music his whole life and hails from a long family lineage of musicians, including world renowned composer Antonin Dvorak. Originally born in Czechoslovakia, at age six his family emigrated to Vancouver, Canada and it was there, during high-school that he formed his first band Terror of Tiny Town.

He moved to New York City in 2005 to deal with the sudden death of his father and spent twelve years working in various roles throughout the music industry including session musician, side-man, producer and audio-engineer. He released four studio albums and produced records for other New York artists out of his Starr Street Studio.

Needing a change of scenery, he and his wife relocated to Houston TX in the summer of 2017. Shortly after the move Luba won a scholarship to Steve Earle’s songwriting retreat Camp Copperhead with his song Queen of the Rodeo.

The new inspiration and the southern state-of-mind started to re-shape his songwriting style and in the fall of 2018 he headed into the studio with his long time New York band.

Five songs from the one-day session were released in April 2019 as American Wino. Five classic country renditions intended as the opening act to American Sin.
