The Umbrella Man is a Gulf Coast combo that incorporates many of the influential styles of music that have come to be in the Texas- Louisiana region from Country, Rockabilly, Swamp pop, Conjunto,and many more.

greetings from the dirty south, mystical land of moonshine, cockfights and tent revivals. my name is dave, but folks just call me burma shave. i recently met mr. nick when he was touring with billy joe shaver. y'all have a really great sound. very interesting mix of styles, but it works. that's the thing. your music feels good, even through the little speakers in my laptop. i'm anxiously awaiting the release of your new album. hopefully i'll see a live show sometime. thanks for making music that matters and for adding me as a friend.

por vida,

burma shave
