"Listening to Jim Brunberg is like cracking open a beer with an old friend on your front porch. He's real and he's always got something to say. His songs are gorgeous, not in that Mona Lisa way but in that so-much-depends-on-a-red-wheel-barrel way. Mexican Divorce Honeymoon breaks my heart." -Alison Frost, OPB "We're lucky to have Jim Brunberg in music today. Jim has been writing songs vor various purposes, mostly his own, for 18 years. The band he co-lead in the 90's Box Set, acheived enough success on radio and touring for Jim to settle back into production for a few years, where he recorded Kristin Hersh, Dirty Martini, Miraflores, and many other bands. He returns to playing live and making his own records after a 2 year absence, with "Jim's New Thing #1" - an ecclectic EP of a vast range of styles and emotions. It's funny, it hurts, and it's beautiful." -Angus McBeoff
