About Me

Two friends, a love of music, possession of musical instruments, and access to recording equipment: Where else could it possibly lead? Welcome to the world of Hungry Bumblebees where simplicity is embraced and no cover song is too obscure. As an child, you attach yourself to the kind of music you grow up with. Whether or not it fits the taste in music you’ve evolved to, you’re stuck with it. It was a kids’ show, sure, but the music from Sesame Street will always be with you. I love my soundtrack to "Brave Little Toaster" as much as I love The Beatles or John Williams. We’ll cover it all! And if you have a suggestion, send it our way! Who knows what’ll pop up next? Hungry Bumblebees is there to cover the tunes from our childhood generation* and BEYOND! Buzz on, honey babies. (*=1980 thru 1995, when music was a lot cooler.)
