I've been singing for 30+ years and have been riding a Harley a very long time. When I went Solo, people started calling me... You know, Geoff. The singer who rides the Harley. So the name just got stuck to me, and I liked it! So therefore. Harley Geoff

I play in Myrtle Beach, mostly the club scene, a lot of tiki and outside bars here. Going solo offered me the opportunity to play more often than with a full band, as we all know, performance price is a booking factor.
Do I Like to play live??? Absolutely; There is no better feeling than striking a chord in someone's heart with a special song or sound. As old as I am, even the kids like me.
Best moment - House Entertainer for EasyRider's Cafe for two years. Wonderful gig! EasyRider's made me part of their family. Ego boost yes, but the gig was great!

In any industry, Evolution is a natural thing. Yes, the Internet has changed the industry. When I started playing, we had the Union, American Federation of Musicians. It was really hard to get work or get heard and it was pretty much a popularity contest. Now because of the Internet, many doors are open to all; good or bad, and that's a good thing. If one think's about it, the Internet is one the biggest things to happen on earth for a very long time. The Internet is a 'Many to Many Persons' communication device. Any others have been 'One to One' devices (telephone) or 'One to Many People'devices, TV, Radio, et al. The internet provides a open line of real time back and forth communication for all. And that my friends, is a really good thing!

I would definately sign under one label. As a member of ASCAP, I belive the advice and protection of one body is the only way a busy artist can be " Right's " protected. If you have to run the legal side of a business, you do not have the time and energy to do what you do... Play!

I started in the Cleveland Ohio area in the late sixties/early seventies with a local band, bounced from one band to another, like most of us have. I noticed early on a change coming. With the advent of PassPort software, early music sequencing software, my brother and I used two Commodore 64 portable computers and sequenced music ( Drums & Bass parts ), a tape machine to record the click track to keep it in sync and went duo and solo. Afternoon gigs were called Coffee Break Concerts back then, and later we were a warm-up to the night's Highliner. Clubs were having a difficult time paying a six piece band for a weekend and still make money. Getting band prices down by sequencing, although displacing a fellow musician, helped me get more gigs in clubs that were not 'The Biggies'. Considering this, it parallels the advent of the DJ and started about the same time. Heck, Phil Collins went techy by using a Roland CR-78 Drum machine and a keyboard. I used one too. Now I'm enjoying the one thing in life that I had dreamed of... Playing.

My influences are Eric Clapton, Eagles and Phil Collins with a splash of Donald Fagen.

Roland Keyboards, CakeWalk Music Software, Ovation CS-450 guitar, Mackie sound reinforcement, Tascam recording equipment.

All I have ever wanted is for people to enjoy the music I play as much as I enjoy bringing it to them.
