Po Boy Country Bumkins welcomes you to his home.
Take your shoes off and set a spell, whilst you listen to some lay'd back rock/blues with a country twang.

Why this name?
I didn't choose it, it chose me.
Do you play live?
This is a solo effort right now, although I would like to move out of the studio and do some live performances again in the future.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
You can self publish your work without "connections" inside the commercial recording industry.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Nope, not really interested in touring full time. I just want to scratch my creative itch.
Band History:
I've been playing guitar since 1958.
In grammar school I spent 6 years singing in a 4 part J S Bach chorale choir. When I was eight I bought my first guitar and started teaching myself. Through the years I've added bass, lap and pedal steel as well as keyboards to the list of instruments played.
Each band I've played in has enriched my musical palette and has added fuel to my musical vision.

Your influences?
Jazz and swing, early rock and R&B, Hank Wiiliams and Rockabilly, bluegrass, the Bakersfield sound, blues and gospel. as well as progressive rock all add to the mix. Really anything that I've ever heard is probably unconsciously added to the overall feel and texture. I've been going to dead shows since the late 60's and l think this is quite dominant.
Favorite spot?
The Smokey Mountains
