The Disgruntled Sherpa Project

Since forming on South Street in Philadelphia in the winter of 2002 the band has dipped its toe into different genres of music. Their first two releases Tall Trees Fallen and Double Fisted Misery were stripped down garage rock albums, these were followed by the acoustic ballads and country rock tones of 2003's Farm Living. The band spent the next few albums bouncing back and forth between these two extremes with the three guitar driven rock albums 2004's Keeping it Real and 2007's The Wildwoods sandwiching 2006's acoustic guitar and mandolin heavy, roots Americana album Old Hat.

The new album Scrambled Eggs sees the band blending pop songs with country rock songs, piano lead folk ballads, jam band tunes, rock numbers, a punk song with a Rush-like breakdown and even a lullaby; making it an interesting, experimental effort which has drawn comparisons to diverse influences as Pink Floyd, Black Sabbath, Wilco, Pepper-era Beatles, the aforementioned Rush and even Brahms (see the lullaby). On some numbers the band literally revisits the farm from the Farm Living album to record fiddler Pat Ream a York, PA bluegrass musician in the very same barn featured on that album's cover.

The band plans on playing out extensively this fall to promote the album and already has a few film projects lined up. Scrambled Eggs is dedicated, with love, to Eastside Dave MacDonald of Sirius XM's Ron and Fez Show.
