The Benevolent Mushrooms create a sound that reminds me of the music of the sixties; music that was written as a message, a lesson, a warning - offering hope to the discouraged, advice to the lost. The Benevolent Mushrooms formulate on themes as wide and varied as the struggle between good and evil, relationships, aboriginal peoples, earth changes and even - the universe. The band is based in St. Louis, Missouri and consists of Richard Hamilton (Lead Vocals/Bass Guitar), Jim Wheeler (Electric Guitar/Acoustic Guitars).
