Original Americana , Country, Bluegrass & Roots Music
Hey all,
Thanks for stopping by. As many of you know my music is always evolving . The band is always on the move exploring and searching . It is through our many live shows that we are able to grow. We are inspired by the performances we share and the people we perfom for. I believe you will enjoy my new ensemble . We call it the Roadside Attraction. This band is hot ! We have been working on our live CD and expect to have it available soon.
See you down the road, Bob

"The self-released 12 song CD from upstate New York’s Bob Stump & The Blue Mountain Band may well be the best bargain extant in roots music. Stump (guitar, vocals, songwriter), Roy Coates (bass, harmony vocals) and Tom White (fiddle, mandolin, harmony vocals), supplemented on half the tracks by the formidable Bill Keith on banjo, Andy Bing on dobro and mandolin and Guy "fooch"Fischetti on fiddle, go about their business with an easygoing grace, telling tales both poignant and warm-hearted, drawn as much from the ache as from the exhilaration of life on the road. On the band’s website Stump says he seeks to paint “the American landscape in words and music.” The landscape in question is as much about inner geography as it is the lay of the land—and every bit as affecting. Anyone who has a heart will want to take this trip." –David McGee The Bluegrass Express
"Bob knows how Bluegrass fits into the puzzle of Americana music and brings that music to life". Jeffrey Anzevino, president and founder, Hudson Valley Bluegrass Association
"sometimes I try to put the music behind the lyrics to evoke images of days gone by. Yet I want to move the listener forward through time on roads not yet taken".
