Brother Magnum and the Razor Bumps gave a private performance to Industry Analysis on the Historic Austin City Limits Sound Stage at KLRU Studio in Austin Texas on the University of Texas Campus.AUSTIN CITY LIMITS is the longest-running music series in American television history. More than 500 episodes featuring more than 800 performers have originated from the modest and unassuming Studio 6A since tapings began in 1974. The AUSTIN CITY LIMITS story is one of unparalleled passion for music, commitment to excellence, and perseverance against many odds. What began as a modest Texas music series has gone on to become the only television series ever to be awarded the prestigious National Medal of the Arts. And it has made so much history in one small room that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame...

How did you start with all this??
It’s one of those things that you grow up around and it becomes you. Music was always being played around me on the stereo as a kid and it just seems to comfort me. I couldn’t imagine my life without writing and performing.  I’d be one miserable person!

What's the message to transmit with your music??
If I had to give it a message I guess it would be to live, love, be wild. I want the music to put people in a better place by getting the singing, clapping hands, sharing emotions and just simply being alive.

What's your method at the time of writing a song??
It comes to me in so many ways. Sometimes a melody or a guitar riff or a cool drum beat. I enjoy writing at the piano but when inspiration strikes me I’m usually...

Review by Jerel Johnson

Texas always had soul and guitarist Brother Magnum keeps that well known tradition alive with his new record Feel like a King. Now, it goes without saying that when a blues musician puts the word “king” in either his records or stage name, it is a bold step. If one claims to be a “king” in the context of the blues they had better know how to play some blues, and that means play some blues. Fortunately for Brother Magnum and blues aficionados, Brother Magnum can play some blues and can make his guitar talk for him.

He makes this perfectly clear on the free wheelin’ boogie “Have a good time”. This loose yet tight jam, just works with some soulful piano, trumpet and sax playing offering a nice background for Brother Magnum to lay down some nice guitar work. This song could easily cause a...

Brother Magnum - Meet Me In My Daydream

Year: May, 2008 Genre: Blues/Soul/Roots/Rock SonicJive: http://www.sonicjive.com

Reviewed: 16-June-2009

Review:

On Meet Me In My Daydream, Brother Magnum serves up a heavy dose of his easily identifiable funk-induced blues and slashing guitar throughout eleven songs - all of which he wrote, produced and arranged.  His penetrating, signature solos are pleasingly demonstrative and pump through his veins, literally exploding from his fingertips in flammable fashion.  His able-bodied vocals command your attention and can be compared favorably to Albert King.  Fans of...

 Brother Magnum performed a blistering 45 minute set at this years Red Gorilla Music fest in the heart of Austin entertainment on 6th street in Austin, TX.  This year over 350 bands from around the world performed in over 30 venues in the saturated heart of SXSW.  Magnum was one of the few performers to be found that day performing soul and blues.  "There were so many young artist walking up and triping out on me like I was some sort of vintaged guitar that they had to see up close.  It felt like being a teacher or something." School was definitely in session as he played new music from the upcoming CD and a few classics from past releases, causing a large crowd to gather inside and outside the club. Impact was made without a doubt.

AllI can say is wow! Blues Harp Master John Popper jammed with Brother Magnum tonight at The Speakeasy. John was spotted in the audience and was asked to come up and jam. Popper played on "Bad Apple", which is a song from the new Brother Magnum CD "Still paying dues, still playing blues". All present were astonished at Popper's amazing tone and control. Magnum finished the jam with his own interpretation. "Damn, someone kill me now. I've seen the promised land!"
