Press Kit About Mumblefish Emerging from the garages of Pepperell, Mass., Mumblefish is four guys who formed an alliance to make music and have a lot of fun. Mumblefish delivers a powerful mixture of Rock and Blues that fuses hot classics with today’s best sounds. Featuring amazing harmonies and seasoned musicianship, the Mumblefish repertoire is chock full of ultra-catchy gems, with original tunes and covers of bands like Tom Petty, ZZ Top, Foo Fighters, Matchbox 20, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Daughtry, and more. Mumblefish broke onto the music scene in 2008, playing some local benefits and clubs in the Nashua, NH, Lowell, MA, and Fitchburg, MA areas. The band loves to have fun on stage and is dedicated to their audience and fan club members. MumbleFish is working on their first album, which is due out in 2010, and is ready to play clubs, coffee houses, festivals and benefits throughout the area.

Tom has been writing, playing, performing, and recording music since junior high school, and has played in several bands. In 2000, he broke out on his own as a solo/ acoustic act, playing pubs and coffee houses in and around Boston. Now, he's back and ready to rock with Mumblefish. Steve Foley is the bass player for Mumblefish. Steve grew up listening to jazz and classical, and started playing guitar in high school but switched to bass in college. He toured New England in the 70s as the fire-breathing bass player for the Metal band, “Seth.” In the early 80s, Steve wrote and recorded a number of original rock tracks at Sound Design Studios. His main influences are Cream, The Who, Led Zeppelin, Van Halen, ZZ Top, Jimi Hendrix, and a whole lot of other great musicians. Danny Clark is the lead guitarist for Mumblefish. Danny has been playing in bands since he was 11 and started out as a drummer. He switched to guitar because of Cream-era Clapton and suffered through the disco era by playing hard rock and fusion and rediscovered slide guitar and the blues in the eighties. His main influences are Clapton, Hendrix, SRV, Allman, Zappa, McLaughlin and everybody else. Richard Buck is the drummer for Mumblefish. Richard is a Cape Cod native and studied with Richard Koff at the CC Conservatory, and is well-versed in a variety of musical styles. Over the years, Richard spent time touring with SBP out of St. Louis and has played on a number of recordings, most recently as the house sessions drummer at MDI studios in Plymouth, Mass. His influences include Tony Williams, Vinnie Colaiuta, Peter Erskine, Steve Gadd, Stewart Copeland, John Bonham, Beethoven, Jeff Beck, and a host of other great musicians.
