Fistful of Babies

  Joe BB – Guitars, Bass, Vocals

  Ahead of his time, maybe…  The voice of his time, for sure.  Not afraid to bridge genres, BB fearlessly melds music like a blacksmith folds steel. The results are songs made of the strongest composite alloy melodies. In the words of Donnie and Marie Osmond, “I’m a little bit country, and I’m a little bit rock and roll”.  Mixing styles is usually considered artistic suicide in the music biz except by the likes of such geniuses as Hank Jr., The Supersuckers, The Charlie Daniels Band, Richmond Fontaine, Donnie and Marie of course, and now BB and his Fistful of Babies.  If BB was a sandwich maker and music was lunchmeat, the hoagies produced would be sooo fuckin’ yummy...  You would be fat and happy from eating too many kickass rock sandwiches.

The Babies

Paul Brainard – Guitar, Steel Guitar, Dobro, Trumpet, Banjo, Backing Vocals

  Afflicted with a severe case of attention deficit disorder, Paul is easily sidetracked by small shiny objects.  His prowess extends to all musical instruments with a focus on steel guitar, which is, as we all know, the hardest instrument known to man. Paul’s inability to concentrate on the chords and notes of any particular song are not a hindrance. He just plays all the chords and notes that are in existence. This style has led to new breakthroughs in music. Paul has discovered two new notes in the standard musical scale. The H note and the very tricky S note. Both Patents Pending. With BB’s guidance these new notes have been implemented tastefully into the F.O.B. creation process. Thank god for Paul Brainard.

    Tommy Sessa – Drums, Percussion, Backing Vocals

  A graduate of MIT in Advanced Mathematics, Tom began his journey to become one of the fistful with a numeric angst unequaled. This MIT degree combined with intense sexual frustration has fueled this Boston drummer to new levels of polyrhythmic achievement. Once after an ex-girlfriend confessed she was gay, Tom drummed, to the last digit, the rhythmic equivalent of PI. Without his drums Tom is a dangerous man. He’s prone to violent fits and severe intestinal disorder. Tom is known as the “Rain Man” of the drumset.

Fred Trujillo – Bass, Backing Vocals

  No one knows very much about the elusive Fred Trujillo. He has been known to frequent the bars in the Spanish Harlem of Portland known as “Spanish Portland”. His mastery of the lower frequencies is only bested by his mastery of fighting chickens. He is the “Foghorn Leghorn” of the fighting chicken industry. The best looking and most fashionable of the Babies (aside from BB of course), Fred is very popular with the ladies…and the more open-minded gents. What would we do without Fred?
