Big Bus Dream
“These are old-fashioned protest songs at heart with a patina of new-coffeehouse folk (The Gourds)… and they deliver their messages. 8 of 10 stars.” –David Cowling, Americana UK
Wampus Multimedia announces the signing of Big Bus Dream, a visionary urban rock group based in Charlotte, North Carolina. Founded by former 4th Ward leader Mike Shannon, the band mints a literate brand of introspective social comment in the tradition of Lou Reed, Neil Young, and, more recently, Mark Oliver Everett (Eels). Joining singer-songwriter Shannon in a reserved seat on the big bus is guitarist-songwriter Chick Tsikouras (Pat Metheny, Mamas and Papas).
Big Bus Dream is about the distinctiveness of the song, the arrangement, the colors. Says Shannon, “People say when they hear my tunes they immediately know it’s me. That’s what original music should be about: sounding like no one else.”
Wampus releases Big Dream Baby on March 27, 2012. Watch this space.
