Broken Catfish was born on October 13, 1975. He began his musical career as
an opera singer at age 15. It looked like Catfish was going to be one of
the greatest tenors that ever lived, that is until he found a bass guitar
in an old pawn shop. He began
playing the same notes over and over, completely forgetting even the most
basic element of how to sing. For hours, Catfish would practice those notes
over and over, and to this day they are the only notes he knows how to play.
Catfish moved to New York City where he attempted to begin a solo bass career,
unfortunately no one really liked to hear 45 minutes of a bass player playing
the same notes. It was looking grim for Catfish until one day he came across Jasper Wilkins and Jo-Jo Midnight in a blues club. After a 27 second
rehearsal he was the newest member of Blues Wanderer. Catfish convinced Jo-Jo
and Jasper that the only way to really make a name for themselves was to
tour so they sold Jasper and Jo-Jo's apartment and bought a tour bus, and
since Catfish was the only one with a license, he became the driver. They
had a string of mildly successful gigs until one night after a show they
entered what they thought was a bar. They began making drinks and after the
smoke cleared they realized it was a High School chemistry lab .
After the chemistry lab explosion that struck all of the
members blind, Catfish continued to drive the bus. To this date he has been
responsible for 6,543 hit and runs. BLUES WANDERER FACTS: Broken
Catfish Is the Don Juan of Blues Wanderer. He has been romantically connected
to Courtney Cox, Pamela Anderson, Jennifer Lopez, and Bill Cosby.
