Help us keep this dream alive. A dream of sharing our music with others. So...if you can swing it, go score a new disc & place it in your player; then dim the lights & go ride the Big Bus

Big Bus Dream's debut self-titled release was an Editor's Pick at CD Baby & topped several music charts in Europe: BBD was ranked number one at Europe's Soundlift.com in the Acoustic Pop and Psychedelic Rock genres in May & June of '06.

“original without trying to be trendy” Creative Loafing

“imaginative and well crafted” Celebrity Café

“genuine and unique… It’s a breath of fresh air” Garage Band

Imagine beautifully haunting brooding (quirky?) acoustic with a blast of Psych-Pop sensibility thrown in for good measure. Now, if youd like to put a face on it...maybe a union between Elvis Costello and EEls. Which means we get tossed into the alternative music pile.

We have Several discounted downloads up in our MySpace Store for our friends to purchase.

The UK's very own Paul Reyno made a These Days Video and recently put it up on YouTube.
