I'll always be a David Byrne fan. He is out there having a blast and continuing to make great music. His labe
l Luka Bop has released some of the hottest tracks I've heard. This clip is of David Byrne collaborating with a band of mostly kids from the Brooklyn Music Factory and Doug Hream Blunt.
The amazing evolution of
Doug Hream Blunt
continues! From never performing live in his entire life… we have just
finished three shows here in New York, where he performed with a
terrific band of 13-14 year old girls and boys (thank you Brooklyn Music
Factory and
Clover & The Clockworks!), various professional musicians from around the city… and
David Byrne! Here is a video from the last show we did at Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn, which was made by Doug’s percussionist
Geoffrey Hug and his crew.
We would like to send special thanks to Ace hotel and Martin Guitar for believing in Doug to begin with – and who’s
String Theory project
is bringing him around the world! Also, warm thanks Amanda Khiri, Dave
Levy, Joakim and Luke Jenner for playing with Doug in New York, and to
everyone that attended his shows.
Here is more about Doug Hream Blunt. It turns out he has roots in Arkansas as well. Here is a small clip about Doug. Very cool.
