SoundClick artist: Frank Stroupe

I do everything myself on real instruments in my living room. Well, sometimes I use midi for drums, or recorded live from a keyboard, but no drum machine.

Why this name?

I'm alone, and I do blues. It was kind of obvious.

Do you play live?

not anymore

How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?

It's kind of like the 60's, thousands of garagebands out there trying to get a break. I personally think it's great, you can get thousands of people listening to your music from the comfort of your own home, and not have to screw with endless touring. (that comes later)

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?

Dream on....

Your influences?

I've been listening to music for well over 30 years. My influences are most classic rock 1965-1975, blues 1920-1965 and modern (Clapton, Mayall, SRV, etc), Stax, and some Motown. My music ends up sounding mostly like Chicago style blues.

Equipment used:

SG, Tele, Strat, Jazz Bass, Hammond M-143 (tonewheel spinet), blackfaced Silverface Bassman, Silverface Champ, Epiphone Galaxie 10.
