Dirt Farmer - Recently released album, Scenic Route

In every new guitar there are songs waiting to be born. A new instrument can inspire a player to look at the fretboard differently and see possibilities they never thought about before. If the feel is right, they can bond with the instrument and find themselves reaching for it more and more. 

Scott Cryer and Rob MacDonald, the prolific songwriting duo from Brampton, Ontario, found themselves doing just that last year. In 2023 they each purchased a small body Martin acoustic guitar and that was it; they fell under the acoustic spell. They played and recorded songs together on their beloved new guitars and after about a year, sure enough, an acoustic inspired album came into being; Scenic Route.

Scenic Route consists of ten songs with a quirky yet serious, mostly uplifting, alternative folk/pop feel. The songs range from quiet intimate arrangements such as with the beautiful simplicity of Never Known Sadness, to the lush musical soundscape of It’s Time. Expressive vocals are paired with rich albeit restrained harmonies. The album title is taken from a line in the folk rock track, Sleep through a movie again; “Oh I know I took the scenic route, on the way to figuring out…”. Tales of plans winding up taking the longer idyllic scenic route, and sometimes a much darker, twisted path. 

It is no surprise that the small body guitars shine and sparkle throughout the mixes. Cryer and MacDonald were inspired by the rich tones of the guitars and made every effort during recording and mixing to show them in their best light, and to support the songs beautifully.

People have said that Jim plays guitar like a drummer. He is. In the mid eighties, he toured the Far East, Europe and Tyneside with near-legendary Geordie club band Foxy, before putting down his sticks, opting for a life of obscurity as graphic designer, husband and dad.

In his late thirties with a mid-life-crises looming, he started writing and recording his songs, self-releasing “Some Songs by Jim Pearson” in his fortieth year.

Suddenly, nothing happened, so he continued, and gradually accumulated a niche following of several well-intentioned virtual people, each possessing an uncanny appreciation of music and lyrics, as well as managing to get a handful of plays on BBC 6 music.

Jim is also singer, guitarist, songwriter with niche NW-UK band Scaredycats, who's debut album "Dumb Animals" was pronounced album of the year by Liverpool Sound and Vision in 2017.

Last year, he was a key collaborator and producer with international lockdown supergroup "Nothing On TV".

According to Jim... "You might not agree, but I think I’m getting better at this. I’ve come to terms with the fact that I will never get the global recognition I so clearly deserve, and honestly, I am all the happier for it."

BBC 6 Music's Tom Robinson says... “This is the astonishingly prolific Merseyside songwriter Jim Pearson… you never can be sure what kind of project Jim will come up with next, but you can always be sure it’s gonna be pretty darn good...” (The Tom Robinson Show, January 25th 2020)

Meet Bulzara, the most electrifying indie musician to come out of the most boring seaside town in North East of Yorkshire. Born and raised in a town with more seagulls than people, Bulzara found solace in the buzzing sounds of his computer and the whirring of his synthesizers.

After a string of air plays on Jericho keys show BBC introducing York including track of the week for the single 'mutant frisbee' he decided to move to glamorous Gosport and get noisy with people of Hampshire!

Bulzara also enjoys collaborating with other indie artists, with some remixes under his belt for the band 'Signal committee' and solo act 'McDead' with both artists featuring on his first album 'Crocadillaseapig' along with punk queen 'Tashi delay' in the U.S.A and the big beat masters 'The Phat controllers'


love film scores from the 70s & 80s and try to incorporate a cinematic feel to my tunes, along with electronic elements like early new order, chemical brothers, the prodigy, but feel I'm pretty genre fluid, and incorporate many elements to my music
