LUMBERYARD is a “good-time, foot stompin’ classic rock, funk, soul, techno dance band.” The music itself flows from the “great fountain of musical gestation” era, imho, 1965-1975, plus some 80s-90s thrown in for a good, slightly salty/sweaty flavor. Here can be found many of the musical building blocks/primordial stew, if you will, of the pop/rock/blues/funk/spoken word disco/temporal formats that constitute our song list. It harkens back to the day when an orange haired person wearing a powder blue leisure suit on trumpet could “jam” (to improvise over a designated chord structure and/or sometimes just one chord) with a leather clad 18th Century Dandy on swizzle stick not to mention the platform shoe wearing bassist in a green neon nurse’s uniform. Difficult to imagine in this uptight Twittery Facebooky Googley Internet Webs (sic) modern day world…
Jim Ocean, promoter for the Summer Concerts at Todos Santos Park: “LUMBERYARD puts it’s own unique spin on a lot of classic rock favorites. From Britney Spears to Aerosmith, LUMBERYARD challenges the originals with expert musicianship and razor sharp 3-part harmonies. Also, they do forgotten songs that rarely get heard with other hits weaving through the arrangements seamlessly. 5 stars!”
