Fatty Lumpkin is the band that provides a soundtrack for the new millennium.
The members of Fatty Lumpkin grew up in Grapevine, Texas and began their musical journey shortly after meeting each other in 2000. The band draws their influences from a multitude of genres such as classic rock, hip hop, reggae, and jazz. Fatty Lumpkin's first gigs came in 2003 when they locked in a weekly gig at a local bar after winning their first battle-of-the-bands competition. Fatty Lumpkin then hit Dallas/Ft. Worth, paying their dues by playing relentlessly around the area, deliberately crafting and polishing their sound and style. Fatty Lumpkin has steadily increased their output and reputation by branching out to venues and music festivals throughout the country including the Wakarusa Music Festival in 2008.
Fatty Lumpkin has shared the stage with many talented and accomplished musicians including EOTO (Michael Travis and Jason Hann of the String Cheese Incident), Greg Ginn of Black Flag, Rebirth Brass Band, The Motet, RAQ, Mike Dillon’s Go-Go Jungle, On The One (John Staten of Karl Denson's Tiny Universe and Jesse Molloy of Giant People), Family Grove Company, The Code talkers, Cecil “P-Nut“ Daniels, Tony Furtado, Consider the Source, Moving Matter, Snarky Puppy, Tribal Nation, Topaz, The Eric McFadden Trio, Spoonfed Tribe, Qwiksand, Egress, and many others from the Dallas/Fort Worth area.
The members of Fatty Lumpkin live by the ethics of being musicians and artists for life, writing and performing music that reflects the culture of the generation from which they come. Their mission statement is simple: Life, Love, and Music.
