Dumbfounded
presents:
classic rock, garage-style
The glory days of rock & roll are celebrated whenever the band Dumbfounded sets up its equipment. The guys are thankful they grew up in a time when all sorts of music came over the airwaves via the AM stations that provided entertainment in their youth. The members of Dumbfounded like all types of music, and their eclecticism is reflected in their set list. Some have a passion for great guitar solos, while others are more inclined towards country-rock or soul music. The band members just call it “Classic Rock, Garage Style,” and they play whatever they enjoy, which amounts to a nice variety of their generation’s music.
While living otherwise normal lives, the members of Dumbfounded find a certain comfort in re-creating the songs they grew up with. While they may occasionally forget the lyrics, miss a chord change or end a song disastrously, Baby Boomers and folks of all ages seem to enjoy the effort and the feelings that the music invokes.
The guys in the band have found that playing music is therapeutic and makes them feel young – even if the mirror tells a different story!
The members of Dumbfounded include Lanny Bryant and Mark Fisher on vocals, Ron Coffey on lead guitar, George Smith on keyboards, harmonica and sometimes drums, Ron Sexton on bass guitar, Randy Adams on drums and vocals, and Kellis Smith on guitar, banjo and percussion.
Dumbfounded is sought after for parties, class reunions and most any type of gathering where classic rock & roll from the 1960s and ‘70s is appreciated. The band's fan base is growing. The most enthusiastic of the devotees call themselves Dumbheads. Thus far, no one has worn a dunce cap to a Dumbfounded show -- but it's still early!
