About the Artist

The release of Push Puppets‘ new album titled “A Boat of Lies and a House of Cards” will be celebrated at this album release show.

Push Puppets is the solo project of singer/songwriter/guitarist Erich Specht. This indie rock act offers well-crafted songwriting with abundant hooks and guitar firepower.

The lyrical sensibilities of some of the heroes from his youth such as Paul Westerberg or Elvis Costello have clearly impacted Specht’s songwriting which is often brutally honest and always memorable. Musically, Push Puppets might be compared to such indie rock pioneers as Wilco, Gomez, or The Shins.

The project’s first release, “A Living Experiment”, was met with critical acclaim and received airplay worldwide. The long awaited follow-up album will be released on Friday, April 3rd and will be performed along with selections from previous releases at this album release show with a full band including bassist John William Lauler and drummer Greg Essig.
