T-Bone is hard core blues. He travels the world with one thing in mind--finding a new audience for his blues, which is a mix of old blues and his own, unique, new blues.
Why this name?
I was playing up in Idaho a lot of years ago under the name T. Fisher. When I took a break some people in the audience started calling out, wanting "more of that T-Bone". I liked it and it kinda stuck.
Do you play live?
I'm currently playing all over Europe and I'll take bookings almost anywhere there is an audience.
How, do you think, does the internet (or mp3) change the music industry?
For me it's really cool. You can check out artists around the world and never have to leave your PC.
Would you sign a record contract with a major label?
Make me an offer I can't refuse.
Band History:
Played here there and everywhere. Lots of years on the circuit in Northwestern US, then more in the Caribbean, ending up in Venezuela for several years. Now Europe, mostly Amsterdam.
Your influences?
Leadbelly, Big Bill Broonzy and Blind Boy Fuller. When I met Brownie McGhee and he asked the same question, I didn't know that Brownie had learned from all these guys. It made us instant friends. Other influences include Muddy, Blind Blake, Elmore James and Robert Johnson.
Favorite spot?
Ain't got one.
Anything else...?
Brownie McGhee once told me, a long time ago: "We may be fighting a losin' battle, but we're having a lot of fun along the way." Some things never change.
