Backstory:

“Fumbling Book” sprang into life in a dusty corner of a small-town library in Oregon, where lead singer and songwriter Sam Barnes worked as a librarian. One day, a fumbled book fell off a shelf and struck his head, leading to a sudden rush of melodic inspiration. This incident led him to form a band with fellow library staff and a couple of enthusiastic library patrons. They began rehearsing in the library after hours, their harmonies echoing through the silent bookshelves, and soon started performing at local bars and coffee shops, quickly amassing a loyal fan base with their unique sound. “Fumbling Book” is a testament to unexpected bouts of creativity and the belief that extraordinary things can happen in the most ordinary places.
