Busman’s Holiday

About Me

Busman’s Holiday is a band of brothers. This lends well to their affection towards barbershop style harmonies and their ease of interacting on stage both musically and socially. They have been influenced greatly by singing on the streets through much of this country. Their melodica, acoustic guitar, upright bass and suitcase bass drum compliments the genre hopping pop music. With their unpredictable live shows they strive to leave their audiences entertained. Busman’s Holiday is where mohawks and mullets meet harmoniously.

"Busman’s Holiday, which is a cool band out of Bloomington, they actually, like, go busking, or whatever it is, on the streets of Bloomington. And it’s really a cute band. They write these really, really cute, you know, sing-along, kind of memorable songs. I’ve been following them for awhile. They’re connected to the band the Delicious; which is, I love the Delicious."
-Jed Banner, Musical Family Tree
