This came to me via my website. Can anyone identify this man for this youg girl?

"The lead singer of one of my favourite bands has said his dad is a folk singer. I was brought up with folk, and still listen to it, so I really wanted to hear some of his stuff, but can't find any mention of him anywhere, accept with reference to his son (the singer).

I was wondering if you had ever heard of him - Dave Stump (or Stumph) and if so, do you know where I can get hold of any recordings? I *think* he's Chicago based, but that's by no means definite.

Thanks so much for your time. Look forward to knowing if anyone's heard of him."

"Patrick Martin Stumph is 5'4" or 1.63 m tall. His nicknames include Stumpy, Lunchbox and Rickster. He is famous primarily as the lead singer of the band 'Fall Out Boys'.
Though he is the lead singer of the band along with being the lead guitarist, amazingly he had never sung before nor taken up lessons for singing. He is credited with writing all the music for his band and was originally a drummer but had to take up the guitar when a lead guitarist left.
He changed his name to Stump from Stumph when he joined 'Fall Out Boys' so as not to cause confusion about its pronunciation. He formed the band along with Joe Trohman and Pete Wentz.
Patrick Stump comes from a musical background with his father Dave Stump as a folk singer and his brother Kevin, an accomplished violinist."

Found on the web with a google of

"Dave Stump"

in the quotation marks just as is.

In what's left of my memory, I recall that there was a thred and Dave's name was mentioned on it. There was some talk about him. I don't know how to locate things like that on Mudcat. It was over two years back at least. Sorry, that's all the help I can be at this point. It would help however if you asked the 'powers that be' to change the title of the thread so that Dve's name is in the title. Maybe

Info about Dave Stump(h), Chicago area.

The Folk Music Index to Recordings does not have any listed for Dave Stumph.
