Portrait of the Band

Dr Big Love Music

It is rock music but a kind of swampy brew version. The essence is: spirit, love and liberation, in the burning belief this would make the world a better place. It isn't really like anything else.

 

It is not old man's music nor the music of pale and spotty boys or girls on strings. It mixes powerful drumming, great melodies, complex harmonies, raging brass, riffing guitars, a wailing gob iron, the Bishop's manic keyboard and driving bass because it's:

Dr Big love

Big Music!
