As a Wise Man once commented, “Spud puts a happy face on bad times.”

Indeed, that’s the mission singer / songwriter / satirist Spud Davenport has been on for years (with songs in major movies and on hundreds of terrestrial radio stations).

Southern Californian Singer/Songwriter Spud Davenport plays a few instruments. Piano, guitar, and a whole alotta Drums to name a few. And he also has a few things to say.

From storytelling within such songs as Time Bomb Mom, You’d Love Me Now (If You Knew Me Then) to twisted love songs such as Car Wreck, She Gets Loud, Spud sings, moans, and screams his tales of woe and WHOA for your enjoyment!

Oh, and Spud also enjoys a songwriting partnership with buddy Charlie Recksieck in the irreverent fun rock band, Leaders In The Clubhouse.

So if the concept of a long-haired Randy Newman fronting a Rock Band from behind the drums sounds interesting to you, take a listen to Spud!

Spud’s new album, Songs For The Cynical drops January 27th, 2023 and features the singles Home For The Headaches, Enjoy Every Sandwich and You’d Love Me Now (If You Knew Me Then).

This vibrantly alive, indie-rocker with a jovial heart of an album opens on the rampant guitar chords of Come Inside! and the languishing, informative messaging with Enjoy Every Sandwich and they are followed by the free wheeling AOR of You’d Love Me Now (If You Knew Me Then), the slower-paced Car Wreck, the heart-soaked, harmonica-driven rock of I’m The Only One, and then we get the tambourine-imbued foot-tapper Paper Maps, the beautiful piano balladry of Van Halen’s Hot For Teacher, and the statically-charged Roommates.

Up next is the joyous, countrified twang of If I Had The Time and the rangy, mid-tempo indie guitar ballad Love Frustration and they are in turn followed by the evenflow of Don’t Flip Your Lid, the Proclaimers-esque vibe to Home For The Headaches, the album rounding out on a harmonica-driven reprise of Only One Parade, coming to a close on the sumptuous ballad Let’s Lead Together, featuring gorgeously-toned vocals from Mary Grasso.
