about

Uncle Father is Lawrence Bathurst (vocals and drums) and Wilbur Q. Bufferson (guitars) -- two musician/songwriters who have created their own super group to rock you into a catatonic stupor. Huh? Stupor? What do you mean? Let’s put it this way, if you have ever woken up in someone else’s clothes not knowing what day it is, deep down, it is because of Uncle Father.

What type of music does Uncle Father play? If you could borrow their Sony Walkmans, you would hear bands like Ween, Deep Purple, Frank Zappa, Radiohead, Funkadelic, and the Meters. But at their core, Uncle Father is a rock and roll band. That’s right, get your black jeans on and fly those lighters high!

Over the years, Bufferson and Bathurst compiled hours of demo recordings. Last year, they decided to work from them and, essentially weaving gold from straw, recorded the album that will reintroduce the world to heavy rock music. What originally began as a humble, low-key project, quickly became a bold professional studio recording once word got out and friends jumped aboard. The self-titled album includes stellar musicians: Jamie Shields of the massively popular live house, dance music, jam band, The New Deal, and rock/pop artist, William Rottman, who recently returned to Toronto after over a decade in NYC as a solo artist and gun-for-hire session guitarist and vocalist.

Uncle Father is fierce rock and roll with a toothless smile. This debut album unlocks the mind of Uncle Father. You're invited to come inside, because Uncle Father loves you.
