The music of Thomas TallChief could be described as a mix of a wide range of styles and influences, and has a sound that is very unique. The highlight of the music is Thomas's unmatched bass playing, but his musicianship shows throughout each and every aspect of his music. From high-speed guitar playing reminiscent of artists such as Yngwie Malmsteen and Steve Vai with bass playing matched in intensity, down to more laid-back stylings with smooth instrumental melodies, there's definite diversity in the music you'll find on this page. Thomas is currently involved in a new recording project and has several new tracks in the works. We hope you enjoy the music, and if you would like any further information or wish to contact or comment on the songs, please visit the "artist website" link to www.tallchief.com where you are welcomed to contact Thomas directly. Enjoy!
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
It allows people of all musical skill levels and diversities to hear any type of music from anywhere in the world with relative ease. It allows unsigned artist like me to share music with others that would not otherwise been able to hear it. I know I wouldn't be the musician I am today without the internet, it allowed me to hear what others out there were doing and weren't doing and opened up a whole new world to me. So overall it's a very good thing as far as I'm concerned.
Band History:
I started playing stand up bass around the age of 9 in orchrestra class. Then I moved on to electric bass around 14 years old in my high school jazz band and have stuck with it ever since. Recently (About 5 yrs ago) I picked up the guitar and piano, next I guess is to learn how to play drums.
Your influences?
My major influences would have to be Jaco Pastorius, Chris Squire from Yes, Geddy Lee from Rush, Billy Sheehan, and Yngwie Malmsteen.
Favorite spot?
I have been all around the country, my favorites are Seattle WA, Los Angeles CA, Denver CO, Orlando and Miami FL and of course my home town, Stillwater OK.
Equipment used:
Fender jazz and precision basses, Ibanez guitars and Ovation acoustic electrics.
