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.

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.
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 Café
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 back in October and is getting
great reviews. Music from the release has been featured on NPR and in the documentary
10MPH.
"NYC / London acoustic work-out of unspeakable gorgeousness...a record to treasure"
- Americana UK
"As fresh and inspiring as watching the sunrise...
Ms. Phoebe's violin sounds like heaven in digital format...Extraordinarily
fulfilling"
- Babysue.com
"Extremely lovely...one of those records you reach for to ease you
into or out of your day as it brings with it great calm and untroubled prettiness
of sound that can't help but induce wistful sighs and fond memories"
- Comes with a Smile
So dig it here we go...from Seattle to Boston at
10 MPH. And along the way beyond a bunch of other great tunes you can get
an earful of an alternative take of Polly Loved Me ( I Know), a tune from my
latest Tea with Leo.
And in case yer wondering well, 10MPH is a comical documentary that follows
a pair of aspiring filmmakers as they quit their jobs and turn a friend's ludicrous
idea into a movie.
It's been shown at a host of festivals and has even won several best documentary
awards. To score yerself a copy just clink on the links below.
And oh say yeah if ya want to know even more about the film you can go to www.10mph.com.
