Lumpy and the Rutherfords

Coming Soon: DOWN THAT ROAD BEFORE

About Me

Lumpy & The Rutherfords features original songs written and performed by brothers John and Dave Ellis. After many years spent playing in their own respective groups, these musical inventors are teaming up for the very first time. John plays the electric, acoustic, and nylon string guitars and also the bass. Younger brother Dave is the drummer and producer. Vocals are attempted by both. As we write and record new Lumpy music, we'll upload it to this site. In the meantime, we've added some Hayseeds gems from years past.
