I love the Urban Dictionary! It is a wonderful exercise in people stepping up to define words, situations, and it is at times a total hoot. Other times it is crude, lewd, and rude, but ya can’t have it all, I guess. The definitions for Uncle Daddy are pretty funny. Yikes, it is yet another rabbit hole to fall down! But wait, I want to introduce you to today’s band…Uncle Daddy. Friday is a good day for discovery, don’cha think?
Uncle Daddy is a 6-piece roots rock band from Los Angeles whose debut album Good Mourning just came out two weeks ago. It blends country and folk and foot stomping blues. Hell yeah. LA Weekly called them "a full blown roots rock machine." Me, I like the name.
The band is from the west side of LA and consists of front man/guitarist TJ Stafford, violin player Robbie Anderson, cellist Jacob Szekeley, mandolin player Andrew Jed, guitarist Noah Needleman, and drummer Christopher Allis. Don’t you love that roots is growing in the densest of urban areas? Here is the song “Long Time,” one of the tunes from the new album Good Mourning.
