I'm not really a band. I play and record all my music on my laptop with Adobe Audition. I'm basically just starting too. I guess being a musician and a newbie sound engineer (take that lightly) has quite a learning curve. I usually don't write any music either, just basically take a rhythm line I've come up with and improvise 1 or 2 lead lines. There are mistakes in there as well. I don't usually play more that 1 take per track so its not perfection. Don't let that fool you though, the songs are decent, so have a listen.
Why this name?
Its my name. May change it sometime, but why would I? I don't have a band. :P
Do you play live?
I usually play in my house. Nothing special about it. I don't play live. Maybe that will change someday.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
Well, seeing as big bands are way over payed, I think that they will have to earn their money a little more by playing live to get their cash. Recorded music is so easy to steal these days.
As for smaller guys, its awesome. Its a huge medium for getting your music out there. Indie bands can stay that way and not fork out huge amount of their hard earned cash to big labels.

Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Probably, but that'll never happen.
Your influences?
I love bluesman like BB King, SRV, Eric Clapton, Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, Albert King and so many others.
I love classic rock as well: Led Zep, Pink Floyd, Allman Brothers, Skynrd,

Favorite spot?
Fredericton has got to be the best. Its the best blues city by far in the east. The Harvest Jazz and Blues Festival is amazing. Check it out.
