Bobby Dazzler
Bobby Dazzler is a band comprised of brothers Chris and Jesse Meyer, who share instrumentation/ songwriting/ gas-huffing duties. They hail from rural Connecticut and are often joined by John Rosenthal ( The Giraffes, War Tortoise), on bass guitar and backing vocals. Matthew Lynch (Brushfire, Quarterstick), also contributes drums and backing vocals. Mr. Lynch also runs the east coast division of the Neil Peart Fan Club.
Their debut CD Bobby Dazzler’s Different Guns is an American rock tour de force. Drawing upon many influences (in Jesse’s case: everything except Rush, and in Chris’s: nothing but Steely Dan), their mature songwriting styles meld into a cold-filtered blend of acerbic folk, rock, jazz and blues with big hairy balls. Lyrical themes include loneliness, forgiveness, redemption, and The Notorious B.I.G.
