I am a silly migratory bird, hatched and reared the Gardner, MA educated in Miami, FL now braving the cold hills of Boston. I play small venues with a handful of folk/country musicians (fiddle, guitar, and pedal steel) I look for ears willing to listen for soul searching and confessional outpouring, hidden inside warm and melancholic melodies. So far everyone has been more than kind and generous. Currently I am looking for local Bostonians who would like to lend their efforts to a experimental folk/country/minimalist pop group. The search has been slow I thank those who have been patient and helpful. So please take a listen, keep listening I'll keep you posted on the evolution my efforts. And as always thanks The other musicians and great thinkers you've humbled me immensely. .. .. .. .. ..

The Big Lonesome is Brother’s Chad and Luke Gosselin, Joe Ziemba, and Jerry
Looper. Each member is one part of a sound memorable for it’s complete honesty,
jarring purity, and unique brand of songwriting. The group is rooted in an Americana
and Alt Country tradition where the songbook is the focal point of the music. Bands
like Wilco, the Avett Brothers, and Band of Horses are clear influences. On stage the
group shows an immense sensitivity to dynamics and instrumentation. Each member
of the Big Lonesome is a skilled multi-instrumentalist coloring their music with the
sounds of the pedal steel, slide guitar, and mandolin.
The bands beginnings originate with brother’s Chad and Luke Gosselin who grew
up listening to a wide array of roots music. Early on they were strongly influenced by
American classics such as Bill Monroe, the Carter Family, and Johnny Cash. Expanding
on these brother’s acoustic music long time friend and musician Joe Ziemba became
the full time bass player in 2009. A year later the band organically grew into a quartet
with the addition of drummer and multi-instrumentalist Jerry Looper. Today the band
has become known for it’s individuality, minimalism, and energy both live and in the
studio. The Big Lonesome has performed most notably at the House of Blues
Foundation Room and The Hard Rock Café in Boston, and Tammany Hall in Worcester.
They can be heard in the coming months regionally, on local radio stations, and in
their home town of Boston Massachusetts.
