My name is Dennis McElroy. I'm a former guitarist/vocalist for a popular local cover band until an accident, followed by a couple of surgeries sidelined me from doing live gigs for awhile. My most notable gig was at Veteran's Stadium in Philadelphia for WYSP's Toys For Tots motorcycle run; we also played for WMMR. Since leaving the band, I've been writing and recording on my own.
Why this name?
Obviously...it's my name.
Do you play live?
Not at the moment, however, it may happen in the future. I love playing live and being onstage!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It's a whole new world out there. No longer do I have to pay for studio time, I can record and mix on a digital recorder.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Without a doubt!!!
Band History:
For the time being, my focus has been on my writing and recording. But, I have roughly 35 years experience playing in bands and on my own.
Your influences?
Definitely, The Beatles were my first love and a huge reason that I play the guitar today. A lot of the alternative bands have given me a recent influence with alternative tunings. Also, Michael Hedges had a big influence on my tunings.
Favorite spot?
That would absolutely be anywhere in the Caribbean! I just love the islands.
Anything else...?
Dennis can now also be heard in the country/alt charts.Stay tuned for a couple of instrumentals in the acoustic/guitar, includinng a tribute to Michael Hedges (Trimming The Hedges)
