Writes songs in varied styles, all tied together by the carefully-crafted storytelling in each one. Comparisons have been drawn to George Formby, Daniel Johnston, Yellowcard, Brett Domino, The Eversons, Dudes and Their Guys, Tiny Tim, Monty Python. I can assure you that I don't have a silly voice, despite some of those names. eligumble.com - Saxophone [band] (21:10) Saxophone [band] are a pitch-shifted-baritone-sax and drum duo from South London, formed in 2021.
