Stuffy Shmitt - Stuff Happens (2020)

Stuff Happens runs the full spectrum of manic depression in glorious stereophonic sound. There are blues rockers and desolate Americana ballads and when you need a jolt, there’s plenty of naked, unapologetic, torn-and-frayed American rock & roll. The lush sonics of Stuff Happens make a compelling backdrop for Shmitt’s austere, blunt-force poetry and gutter-of-consciousness lyrics. His songs are disarmingly direct and personal. These are not your garden variety genericana tunes. He’s weird. And honest, too. His stories are our stories. He makes us feel stuff. – Glide Magazine
