His main schtick is human beat box noise making and he’s quite accomplished in that area, without a doubt. There are a lot of people out there who do this well, but Beardyman’s musical chops and comic sensibility takes the genre to another level. He clearly has the creative genius needed to keep himself as well as other people interested and entertained for as long as he wants. Best of luck and thanks for all the fish!

I stumbled upon a portion of his remarkable output, relatively recently, whilst (and at the same time) watching a PBS broadcast of a Missouri gig featuring songs from his Howdy Skies Records releases, Cornbread Nation and Fiddler’s Green. I would highly recommend these to fans of string band, old-time, and bluegrass musics, but that would be a waste of time for it is an absolute metaphysical certainty they’re already well-acquainted with the brilliant artist. I expect the unique appeal of his work could easily reach well beyond the hardcore fan base if there were greater exposure. Although, this blog is likely to do little to that end, I thought I’d mention it, just the same. Tim O’Brien has a website located here. Book a room at the Dew Drop Inn, say howdy to Tim, and help yourselves to some Cornbread Nation and other tasty morsels!
