The Roadhouse Jukes came about from a friendship I have had for over 30 years. We have played together for a very long time and decided it was time to make our own music. The writing, arranging, rehearsing and recording of this CD took about 2 years. There is alot of other material that didn't make it onto the album.
Why this name?
Jukes is another word for ghost and it also is a word that describes a place were you go to party.
Do you play live?
From time to time, when we are invited. Concerts only. Performing live is the best.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Yeah, this is the way to do it. I think everyone is a musician, poet, or writer of some sort, and this lets us all share,..very cool.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
That would depend on my lawyer..:)
Your influences?
I have been a composer, bassist, and guitarist for a very long time. I have many influences. The influences that I have drawn on for The Roadhouse Jukes have been Led Belly, Lightin' Hopkins, Leo Kotke, Son House, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Robin Ford, John Hammond, B.B. King, Albert Collins, Howlin' Wolf, Ray Brown and too many more to mention.
Favorite spot?
Como, Italy.
Equipment used:
I play a Martin HD-28, a Fender FR49 resophonic, a Fender Jazz 5-string Bass, and a Fender 4-string Jazz Special Bass.
Anything else...?
The community of music brings us together. Let's all celebrate that!
