About

Emerging from Detroit, a city rich with soulful sounds and funky chords that make heads-nod
and feet-tap, brother duo, Fatman and Garvin McKinney are Instruments of Musick. Powered by
the melodies and electric harmonies of the pedal-steel guitar, their music tells a story of the

staying true to yourself, while going against the grain.
Give It To You, is a breath of fresh air in a genre deemed slow songs and monotonous melodies.
The upbeat tempo creates an atmosphere of joy and makes you want to dance. Each verse and
harmony contribute to all the praise and love Christ deserves; the strum of the pedal steel guitar
