2 new tracks!

Thanksgiving song!!

New music!!

As if awakening from some extended hibernation, Mudflap Junior Jones has had 2 rehearsals in the past 6 weeks, and another planned soon in sunny New Hampshire!
It's been good just to get out, but actually got some stuff done, too! I'm really psyched, I even did a couple socially distancing openmics hosted outside in ever-friendly Methuen, Massachusetts.
I'm hoping we'll have a recording of Tito Lee soon, an instrumental Niko and I used to play that Ryan is recording drums for ... which should also be interesting because we always track live when we record.
AND thanks to stimulus I've now got everything I need to record at home ... it won't be anywhere near studio quality, but I'll be able to document ideas, which is key! ... not to mention trading tracks online, and all sorts of et ceteras.
I hope you all are well ... it's always great to get your messages, I'm pretty sure I got back to them all but if I missed you, message me back!
Stay healthy! ????

My band Mudflap Junior Jones has been on paternity leave since November, but we have some things in the works ... Ryan Taylor (the new Dad) has a new house, and we're planning on shaking the windows soon! We also recorded the Magnum PI theme for fun, but still have some work to do on that ... other than that not much to report, I've just been doing some openmics locally ... thank you for your support, until next time!

Hello and thank you for all for your support! Just wanted to reach out and say how thankful I am for N1M and such awesome fans! Mudflap Junior Jones is currently on paternity leave, since Ryan wanted to have a daughter, too! Haha ... also family and finances have been the focus for a while, haven't been able to set up iTunes, etc. but it's still a goal! I just turned 45, technologically I'm still living in the 80's! I wish you all the best in the New Year, and hopefully 2020 will see a Mudflap resurgence! Happy Merry! See you next year!

Not much going on, psyched to be getting a lot of plays ... haven't been playing much, but still networking and getting out to openmics ... Mudflap Junior Jones is always a thing, but Ryan the drummer is expecting his first child, and might be a while before we're back in the studio ... so not much to report, any news and I'll surely let you know! Thanks for the support!

Hey thank you all for the support and encouragement! I've just added the song Little Madness, recorded by my band Mudflap Junior Jones ... Starbucks Girl is also a Mudflap recording ... unfortunately Mudflap Junior Jones only gets to play once or twice a year, and recording is so expensive ... we used to play at a local open mic, which has since closed and left lots of local musicians looking for somewhere else to play ... Yeah Four Times was recorded at that open mic, The Chit Chat Lounge. In the meantime, enjoy Little Madness! The only Mudflap song with keys!

Matt :)

Just posted The Camel Wide Song! It's a demo from the Mudflap Junior Jones album The Noise Upstairs (which was never released ... sadface) ... check it out! It's a sarcastic take on being a smoker haha enjoy!

Thank you all for your support! Unfortunately I don't have much to report ... my band Mudflap Junior Jones only plays once in a while (Google Mudflap Junior Jones! Lots of music out there!) ... I've been doing some openmics here and there, but would love to get back in the studio with Mudflap ... thanks to you all Yeah Four Times is #1 for acid jazz in Massachusetts! I'm psyched to have got such a great response from this site! If you want to check out some of my obscure homemade 8 track stuff Google Scratch Master Flap ... I can't post the links here ... lemme know what you think! I'll be posting another track soon! Take care y'all! :)

Hoping the new year will bring some more live shows ... getting old sucks! Everyone's got kids n jobs n stuff! Anyone in the Merrimack Valley area wanna get together I've been playing a lot more bass lately ... happy 2017!!!

There's stuff to do in Haverhill! I think ... really there is!
