Rock ruminations from... Dumbfounded

As coronavirus restrictions are gradually being lifted, live music is back in Ohio!

For Dumbfounded, the magic moment happened on Saturday, June 20 at the Catch 22 Sports Pub in Greenfield. Thanks to all the music lovers who showed up to support the venue and enjoy live music from the sixties and seventies.  We saw people dancing, singing along, enjoying the food and drink and generally just happy to be out and about again! 

Some new gigs have been booked, but are private events. We will try to let you know via this website or Facebook when we get our next public gig.

Until then, stay safe and rock on!

DUMBFOUNDED:
Classic Rock, Garage Style!

The members of Dumbfounded grew up in a time when all sorts of music came over the airwaves via the AM stations that provided entertainment. Because of the exposure to a wide variety of music, a Dumbfounded performance reflects many facets of rock and roll, with some country, rhythm and blues and other genres mixed in. 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.
The band enjoys making music and having fun. Baby Boomers and folks of all ages seem to enjoy the effort and the feelings that the music evokes.
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.

Dumbfounded welcomes Steve Marple into the band

Steve Marple of Greenfield is one of the finest drummers our area has produced. He has played with the likes of Johnny Paycheck, George Jones, the Adams Brothers, Ralph May, Scott Cossu and a host of other fabulous musicians.
Dumbfounded’s lead guitarist Ron Coffey first got to know Marple in the late 1960s when both were members of Ralph May’s band, the Dead End, that also included, John Wilkin, Rick Knisley, Buck Young and Russell Baxla. Marple’s musical journey has taken him to many places and to many different styles of music, from rock to country to gospel and more. It’s fitting then, that perhaps Steve Marple has now come full circle as a member of Dumbfounded, playing music of the 1960s and ‘70s with the local garage band.
“We are thrilled to have Steve in the band,” said lead singer Lanny Bryant, who also has performed with Marple in the past. “Just a few years ago he anchored the rhythm section when the Adams Brothers and others put together a great band for a country music show at our Greene Countrie Towne Festival.”
Coffey remembers those days with Ralph May, an outstanding singer who made many recordings and was featured in a show at the Ohio Theatre in 1969. “Ralph was -- and is -- a great talent, and could sing any style of song. He did a lot of gigs with the Dead End, and I was fortunate to be a part of that group for a while. In addition to Ralph’s voice, we had a horn section consisting of Buck Young on saxophone and Russell Baxla on trumpet, and a great rhythm section. Steve Marple was born to play the drums and always kept us ‘in the pocket’ as he laid down a danceable beat at places like Mr. B’s in Wilmington, where we played a lot. It’s a real treat to be in a band with Steve again!”
Dumbfounded has taken on a kind of “Spinal Tap” identity in the 20 or so years the band has been together. Marple is believed to be the seventh drummer in the band’s history, although unlike the fictional group Spinal Tap none of the previous drummers died under mysterious circumstances such as spontaneous human combustion or a bizarre gardening accident.
George Smith, one of Dumbfounded’s drummers, devotes his time to playing the keyboards and harmonica these days, but is an excellent percussionist in his own right. Smith gave Marple his stamp of approval, calling him “a great drummer with an outstanding sense of timing and the ability to find the grove on anything that is being played.”
And so, the current lineup of Dumbfounded is:
Lanny Bryant - vocals
George Smith - keyboards, harmonica and vocals
Ron Sexton - bass
Steve Marple - drums and vocals
Ron Coffey - guitar and vocals
We look forward to bringing our brand of “Classic Rock, Garage Style” to help liven up your next event.
