Willie Dixon was born on Canada Day as was singer-songwriter Sufjan Stevens as was the author for this blog. Birthday buddies. Sufjan Stevens's first foray into recorded music was with his Hope College band Marzuki, named for Sufjan's brother. Marzuki formed in the mid nineties and featured Shannon Stephens (vocals, guitar, no relation), Jamie Kempkers (cello), Matthew Haseltine (guitar, bass), and Sufjan (guitar, percussion, recorder). They released their first album Marzuki in 1996 on MS Records.
