But since you ask ... Buzz Hummer discovered music when the British invaded in the 60’s, and grew up in Toronto at a time when “Classic Rock” was still new and startling.
Roots, rock, Americana, blues, folk … call them influences. Call them goals. Call them labels. Buzz fondly remembers the psychedelic era when it was all just “music”, a time of discovery, a time of sharing. A time before we all retreated to boutique genres and personal playlists.
Sad but not surprised that the Woodstock Nation never fully formed, Buzz still believes in three chords and the truth.
Buzz lives in Niagara, Ontario, where he wonders if his fingers and his vocal chords will ever duplicate the sounds in his head.
Buzz would like to meet Tom Petty, and ask him how you absorb all of your favourite music, then play it back like it was something new.
Hi Randy, I just listened to "Let Oil Have Its Way" and it's excellent. Very nice guitar playing, and vocals, which remind me a bit of Syd Barrett, although you definitely have your own sound. I intend to check out the other songs shortly.
Nice review of my song On The Take on musicxray.com: "This song is straight-ahead rock and it reminded me quite a bit of ZZ Top. The music is simple, but it has a good beat to bring the listener into the song, and the lyrics are certainly relevant. The guitar work is heartfelt and appropriate for this composition. It's clear that you're passionate about music and know how to write straight-ahead rock songs about timely themes. Keep up the great work!"
Diggin’ it man! Very nice music … great rock vibes … great sound … outstanding music … great guitar work! … soundin good … diggin’ the grooves … great tracks! – fan comments, Reverbnation
Thanks Buzz, I listened to your music and I can tell you one thing - Scottie from Idol has nothing on the smoothness of your voice. Great work, man !! Glad to know you !! Let's stay in touch.
Just listening to "Ain't Going Down Easy" and it's excellent, the vocals, guitar work and that mellow blusey vibe is amazing, great song! - fan comment, ReverbNation
