Austin James Hicks interview, Listening Lyrics Nov 18th, 2016

Fri, 11/18/2016 - 5:05pm | Pieter Pastoor

Our guest on 11/18/16 was Austin James Hicks. Born in Berkeley, CA.he has been playing guitar since he was 8 and singing since 10. Why does he do this? To him its simple but he is still searching for the right words. 

          "I guess because music is sort of everything. Not everything in sense of it being all I want to do but simply that it sort of feels like it's interwoven so tightly in all aspects of my life that it almost feels silly to talk about it as if it were separate from anything else I do. I like to think that everyone has that in some way with something. But if I were to break it down to simply the act of writing, playing, and performing, it's both what is getting me through this crazy life and what makes this crazy life worth getting through."- from an interview with Federica Buonsante for The Babel Harbinger.

The Bumptet rocks Listening Lyrics on KDRT Sep 30th, 2016

Fri, 09/30/2016 - 5:05pm | Pieter Pastoor

Listen now with the BUMPTET in the studio. The Bumptet is a high-octane mix of funk and jazz with a jamband mentality.  Their music regularly launches into epic, improvisational sojourns, but not at the expense of arrangements and execution.  The group includes some of Sacramento’s finest musicians including Arlyn Anderson, guitar – Barry Eldridge, drums – Andre Fylling, keys – and Jonathan Stoyanoff, bass.  The Bumptet is currently in rehearsal for an upcoming EP, which will feature new compositions and concepts the group has been working on.  They are also performing in residency at Shine in Sacramento every 2nd and 4th Wednesday of the month in an effort to build a scene for funk-fusion music.
