Remember when rock albums were exciting? When you never knew what style the next song would be? There’s no way a major record label would release the Beatles' White Album today. They’d say it was stylistically scattershot and incoherent. Re-record it and make all the songs sound the same! That way you establish a signature sound. Brand identity. And a very boring album.

“Bender: Songs for the Red States” is the new CD from New Hampshire recording artist Jonathan Whitcomb and has no such restrictions.

The songs move and breathe as they follow the songwriter’s muse and take you on a meandering musical journey rather than a fast lane straight shot from A to B. Similarly the topics move from real to surreal, serious to whimsical, earnest to ironic. Many points of view are explored here...not everything is as it seems.
Welcome. I hope these songs appeal to you no matter what color state or country you come from. Listen to some music and enjoy your stay.
