Based out of Chicago IL., Big Breakfast got rolling back in 1999 when songwriter Peter Joly teamed up with multi-instrumentalist Jon Williams. Along the way they picked up upright bassist Brian Dibblee and drummer Nadine Schneller. Their first album, "This Kind" was released in 2000. Building on the foundation they laid with their first record, Big Breakfast continues to develop their unique approach to a truly original sound with their second independently produced full length offering, "Stripper Music"! With this new album, the band ventures into deeper emotional waters both lyrically and musically. While they still construct around the literate songwriting style of lead singer Peter Joly, Big Breakfast conscientiously nurtures each tune with thoughtful arrangements and inspired performances. Recorded in their hometown of Chicago, at Truckstop recording studio, "Stripper Music" has an honest Midwestern energy that isn't afraid to open up its soul to the listener! "Big Breakfast represents the very best of whats happening in new Chicago music" -- Richard Milne, Local Anesthetic, WXRT radio ChicagoGraham Lindsey is a local who is quickly making a national name for himself. "In a voice that spits, sneers, howls and hopes, he lays bare beauty, rails at his failings, and offers up his heart. Like Dylan, Cohen, Kerouac and Townes, Lindsey's relentlessly percussive, consonant verses are calculated and writerly, but they come out in a gush, the better to capturethe frantic tangle of his fears and desires. ...the most audacious roots songwriter's debut since Gillian Welch's Revival." -NO DEPRESSION"Lindsey ekes out the kind of country music that Nashville forgot, thankfully without pop influence. His voice is as gravelly but earnest as John Prine's,and his lyrical stanzas are long enough to make three-pack-a-day smokers faint." -Baltimore City Paper
