Rising RIver Presents: Brandon Hardesy of Bumpin Uglies

Brandon Hardesty! Founding frontman, lead vocalist, guitarist, and songwriter for Marylands Bumpin Uglies. Since 2008, he has driven the band’s evolution from regional roots to national prominence, helping shape their signature sound—a melody‑driven, free‑spirited blend of ska, reggae, and punk—with lyrics that resonate deeply among a fiercely loyal fanbase. Among that loyal fanbase is us. Bumpin Uglies are all over our River playlists and greatly contribute to our vibe.

Brandons solo acoustic shows feature stripped-down, intimate versions of the band’s songs along with personal favorites and deep cuts. These sets showcase his storytelling, raw vocal style & lyrical heart of his songwriting.

We are ecstatic to welcome Brandon to The Rumpus Room.
Opener: TBA
