Bio / Background
Busker's origin dates back to the mid 90’s when Kevin Bannerton and Paul Dubanowitz were in the band The Blue Route. The Blue Route recorded one original full-length album in 1996 titled Feels Like Sunday. To support the album, The Blue Route toured in ’96-’98 mainly in Boston and NYC. After some success and quite a few memorable performances, sharing the stage with such artists as Mike Peters (The Alarm), Simon Townshend, Cold Water Flat and G.E Smith (Saturday Night Live) The Blue Route officially disbanded in 1999. After a bit of a layoff…the creative juices started flowing again. Paul (Lead Vocals/ Guitar) and Kevin (Drums/ percussion/ guitar) have joined with Chris Telep (from Mind the Gap) to form Busker.
The group has written dozens of songs and completed an eight song LP in 2003 entitled Gargoyle. The recordings have invoked comparisons ranging from the Wallflowers, Howie Day, Guster and Ryan Adams.
↓ more ↓With a wide range of musical influences, you will find that each cut incorporates varying styles while maintaining a common "sound" throughout.
To support Gargoyle, Busker performed throughout the greater Boston area in 2003-2005, developing a strong following by playing clubs such as TT The Bears’, The Kendall Café, The Attic, Hard Rock Café (Boston) and The Skybar. Some of the highlights included performances with 2001 John Lennon Songwriting grand prize winner Rachael Sage, NEMO Showcase performer Nicole McKenna and 2003 Hard Rock Café Town Fair winners Focusin’.
In 2005 Busker signed a publishing deal for the songs “Willy”, “World on Fire” and “Let it Ride” from Gargolye with Dean Ligon music in LA. In addition, “Willy” was the featured song during a Boston Red Sox telecast against the Oakland A’s as part of the “Dunkin Donuts Musical Montage” segment.
Gargoyle is available at www.CDBaby.com/busker, www.garageband.com/busker and on most digital distribution outlets (Itunes, Rhapsody etc). Busker is currently booking shows for 2007 and working on new recordings to be released in 2008.
