  • Bio

    Early 2001 Breadfoot landed hisself in Brooklyn, NY. He started kicking around Manhattan's East Village music scene. Couple of self released recordings and several trips to the UK later he got tangled up with NYC's Paleface and formed Just About to Burn. JATB recorded a full length that was released on ArtMonkey Records. Kicked some shows in the UK and then after returning from two weeks on the road in the states with JATB, well Breadfoot decided it was time to move on. It was right around then Breadfoot got word that the good folks at Holden Records had gotten an earful. Result was the release of the Funhouse Recordings Jan. 05 in both the UK and Europe. That same spring right on the heels of the Funhouse release Breadfoot returned to London to record Tea with Leo. The new record got worked up at Caf� Music in London. It was produced by Leo Abrahams, (Ed Hardcourt, David Holmes, Brian Eno), and features London based violinist Anna Phoebe, (String Master and Lead Soloist For the double platinum selling TSO). Tea with Leo was released on Jeeziepeezie Records in October of that year and got great reviews. Music from the release has been featured on NPR and in the documentary 10MPH. There was a short UK Tour and some dates in the states to support Tea with Leo. And then after that Breadfoot got to working up some new tunes. His time writing songs with Paleface in Just About to Burn got him feeling like he was keen to get to putting some words on the songs he was working up for the new recordings. While still in NYC Breadfoot starting on some demos for the tunes and in 2007 was set to go in the studio. Thing is he didn’t. Reason is he became super sound sensitive. The sound of the trains screeching and horns honking on the streets was like being hit with a big stick. So he had to high tail it to a place where it was greener and quieter. So in between then and now he’s done only a few live performances and just a wee bit of recording. Most recently he was contacted by a fella that had bought his Funhouse disc one day when he was buskin’ in Soho. Five years later he told Breadfoot that he’d always dug the tunes and wanted to use some for a video piece about the Farmer’s Market in Woodstock, NY. He has also been working with his Buddy from Blight Productions on some original music for the Tutorial YouTube web series With Uncle Pappy. Hoping soon, to get back to working on the new record that will be called Salvatella. Keep yer fingers crossed cause I think it’ll be a good’un. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .... .. .."NYC / London acoustic work-out of unspeakable gorgeousness...a record to treasure".... - Americana UK .. .. .."As fresh and inspiring as watching the sunrise.....

    Oh, goodness could be anything from the Carter Family to Hank Williams to the Band, Big Star, Neil Young, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and even Fugazi.

  • Sounds Like

    Some of the tunes from the Funhouse release have garnered comparison to John Fahey and Ali Farke Toure. As for the new record Tea with Leo folks are saying that it comes from the same neck off the woods as a lot of the new psych folk that's out there.
