Wanna Hear Sum Mo?

About Me

Once upon a time… 1985 – Rankin County Mississippi - Two young men got together after work and started banging out original tunes. After a few years of jamming with several combinations of like-minded individuals they happened across the brothers Brock who soon joined in to solidify the molten brew. And the rest is…. certainly not going to be on The History Channel.Fast forward to today: Twenty something years, nine wives, twelve kids, four grandkids and a lot less hair later the four are rocking again. Self-recorded and produced, something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue, but as always original. “Just passing the flash file back and forth.”Rollin' Thunder was the name but now Marv Hammerman is printed on the resume… Creative, energy laced, rough and raw tunes with a unique blend of melody and rhythm, delivered in the traditional sense of the words ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll.’ “If it feels good, it is good!”There are several jewels in process, keep checking back…Our Gift to You: Sample our work, it’s yours for the taking. If you don’t like it, no harm done. But, if something in it feels good, if you hear something new and tap your foot or hear something old that shakes loose a fist that pumps in the air… We’ve found someone new to share our tunes with!Your Gift to Us: SHARE THEM WITH EVERYONE YOU KNOW, it’s the best way to show us how much you enjoy our tunes. So… If we can get enough folks like you who enjoy our samples it would give us all the more reason to keep up the pace, we’ve got a large catalog of tunes we could keep producing.So, lighten up, listen up and Rock On. Oh yeah, drop us a note and tell us what you think.
