            <title>Park Series 2010 begins before 09 ends</title>
            <link>http://thumpinhard.com/news.html#63</link>
            <description><![CDATA[Park Series 2010 begins before 09 ends<br /><br />The Summer Jazz concert in the park series put on by Omaha musician Craig Thumper Samuels has already booked 25 dates with the city of Omaha for the 2010 and the 2009 series has not even finished.  The response throughout the series that started in 2007 has increasingly grown each year and has gained the attention of other bands, as well as other cities and towns. The 2009 series was expanded to two other Nebraska towns because of the popularity of the 2008 series.  &#8220;Hopefully we can expand to more cities in other states because of the 09 series&#8221; Thumper said in an interview. Also with the growth of other bands and cities, CD sales have grown as well.  Visitors from out of town, and natives who haven&#8217;t been here in a while pick up CD&#8217;s to take to family and friends out of town, and also get exposed to a lot of Omaha&#8217;s talent that would not otherwise get a lot of exposure.  The series is good in other ways too, it gives people a place to go in the evening to sit, relax, and enjoy themselves and listen to some good music for free.  All of the 2010 park series dates and other performances are posted on the Thumpers website at <a href="http://www.Thumpinhard.com">www.Thumpinhard.com</a>]]></description>

            <title>Hi-Fi internet radio station gives &amp;quot;We R a Nation&amp;quot; 2 Thumbs Up.</title>
            <link>http://thumpinhard.com/news.html#58</link>
            <description><![CDATA["We R a Nation," the 3rd CD by Thumper & Generation One, finds the one-man band continuing to navigate the sounds and styles of R&B, jazz, funk, rock, and pop with the intuitive finesse of a veteran ensemble. Opening with a propulsive R&B rock gem, "It's Time," worthy of Prince, Thumper establishes the contours of the 13 tracks to follow. The title song, "We R a Nation," rides an R&B quiet storm groove in a call-out for unity and tolerance, while "Dreams do Come True" is an urban-leaning contemporary song with a smooth jazz composition of both melody and rhythm. Finishing as strong as it started, the album closes with a bang with the bracing funk of "Chicken Pickin'," with its Southern-influenced groove and bursts of soulful horns. But throughout the album, its Thumper's tasteful guitar virtuosity &#8212; at times, reminiscent of George Benson, among other stalwarts &#8212; that provides the musical backbone to his accessible and catchy compositions. Definitely for fans of contemporary R&B and smooth jazz, Thumper & Generation One's "We R a Nation" CD has more than enough going on to satisfy the broadest of audiences.<br /><br />-Rice B. and the RadioIndy.com Reviewer Team]]></description>
