I hope that everyone is having a good holiday season. Here is a new cover that I recorded today. It is a song by Minnesotan musician Mason Jennings and it is called “Adrian”. It’s from the album “Century Spring”. Below is one of those bootleg youtube videos of the original audio. Youknowhatimsayin.
I’m going to the arctic for a week. see you when I return. have a happy and safe new years! enjoy the music and remember that the premiere Lumpy album is available for sample and purchase HERE. do consider it?

So the album is complete and now available in tangible form. I’ve put up a new section on the site called “From Wilderness Cove” (to the right). There you will find information on the album and how you can obtain it. There are also sound samples from the CD as well. Please spread the word, hope you enjoy and thank you!
So during my senior year in college I recorded an album under the moniker Bryan Rock called “Crucial Bomb” (thanks to Grant for the titular assistance). I think there might be 20 or so copies of it floating around somewhere… or in a landfill. Either way there was a song on it called “I Guess Humans Move Too Slow”. I re-recorded it and made it better. Here is the brand new version.
Hope you all had a fat T day. To help you remedy your turkey/pumpkin/boozy/carbohydrate hangover, I bring to you a new addition to the “Lumpy Covers”. It’s a cover of the Slackers’ song “Who Knows” from their 2003 release “Close My Eyes”. Please notice my brother crooning the silky bass vocals.

So I’ve decided that my second album will be a trumpet album. Musically it will be diverse, but the main voice will be trumpet. It will be a nice change of pace compositionally from this last album. I mainly got the idea because whenever someone that knew me heard I was recording a cd, they would assume it was a trumpet album. This was funny to me, but then I thought that that actually could be really awesome.
I know it may be weird to put up samples of an album that’s not anywhere near completion before I’ve even streamed anything from this premiere album, but you’ll just have to wait a bit. ok.
Here is a flugelhorn reggae piece for the trumpet album. As of now it is untitled
Happy halloween to you all. Bar hopping and running amok is always a good time.
I recently obtained a craigs list spinet piano. It’s pretty badass and I figured I would upload the first song I used it in. The song is called “When the Moon Comes Up Today”, which can originally be found on the P. Lacquers album “Awkward Party”. This version is totally different so I’ve included the original on here as well in case you haven’t heard it. That’s Chan Holman singing in the P. Lacquers version, the coolest singer I know. If she was closer I would have definitely had her sing it again.
My album “From Wilderness Cove” is now done. This week I will be sending it a long with the artwork to get pressed, so hopefully I will have physical copies very soon. I’ll stream some album tracks up on here when it’s all set.
Anyways, enjoy the music and thanks for listening.
The premiere Lumpy album, “From Wilderness Cove”, is now in the “mastering” stage and is nearly done… for real. The art work is complete and ready to be sent away to get pressed. So within the next week or 2 it should be out of my hands which is a very nice thought.
Meanwhile, here’s a new reggae song that I’ve just finished.
It was going to be on my second album but I’m starting to think of different plans for the next one. Either way here is some new music that I hope you enjoy.
I was invited to this old time music (americana) jam in a local Albuquerque backyard this last saturday. It was a lot of fun and the musicians were awesome. Here is a clip of one of the songs. Not sure what it is called. I think there were about 3 fiddles, 3 banjos, and 2 or 3 guitars at the time.
sorry it’s been awhile. things have been nuts. the music i’ve been working on in the little time I do have, is either for the next album or finishing up the stuff that’s about to be released. So here is a not-complete song I am working on for the second lumpy album. I think I’ll have some more time opening up soon, so hopefully this will be a little more frequent again.
