Somewhere in heaven Paul Kamanski is aware of what THE DIRT PREACHERS UNION and JOEY HARRIS have done to his song. He is waiting for us, with either a bouquet of roses or a shotgun. I guess we'll find out when we get there.
“Bob: Joey, I'm about to smear you all over my social media. Is that cool? ”
“Joey: Yes.”

DIRT PREACHERS UNION
(née Big Medicine Head)
Electric Hobo Music
For The People
The DIRT PREACHERS UNION is the stripped down, hot-rodded, diesel-fueled version of Big Medicine Head.

Peter Nelson was a great man. The King of San Diego County, in fact. When we heard of his diagnosis we set about telling his life story, with appropriate hyperbolic license. His daughter Lea did the artwork for this tall tale. Myself, the rest of the boys from Big Medicine Head and Allen Johnston threw paint at a musical canvas to see what would stick. Peter Nelson is the spoon player.
Peter Nelson is on the open prairie now, giving God a bad time. If you’re ever passing through San Diego and happen to see the Cuyamaca range against the fading twilight, tip your hat to Pete - those mountains belong to him.
The Saint of Everything
SAINT OF EVERYTHING
Bob Gemmell
Times are weird, and getting weirder. Perhaps we're marching backward into the future, but we'll get where we need to be. "Saint of Everything" bounces along throwing garlands of flowers and sprinkling fairy dust, with a message of measured weariness but certainly of hope.

Songs From The Bunker
For the duration of the affliction we'll be sending missives from the bunker - sonic flare signals from a distressed vessel. These are just me with an instrument - not a lot of production.
Welcome to the bunker!
