COGNITIVE FUNGUS Productions is a rock/pop/folk musical duo with infectious songs & memorable riffs & lyrics that keep their fans listening. We are popular in Europe and have been at this music thing both separately & together for over 50 years. That dates us but Music & Writing is in our genes-it’s a part of us that will never die. Creating and Performing Music is not a hobby – it is a mission. Writing Screenplays for Film/Theater/Video projects is also a mission. While we are not the Blues Brothers we are dedicated and are on several musical platforms that feature our songs:
