ALAN ELIAS
Specializing in commercial "Classic Country" and 50's & 60's Rock and Roll, Alan Elias consists of one to four members and has been performing since 1963 in various countries.
There were never any plans for "striking it rich", and, thus far, it has worked out just about that way.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Having travelled the world for so many years, I couldn't imagine there being enough space anywhere to publish my history. I don't dwell much on the past anyway, what I am able to do today and tomorrow is what matters most to me.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I prefer "live" performances to just about anything else in the world. Most gigs these days are at fraternal organizations and community gatherings. Any time that there is someone appreciating my music is the most special of moments----without a listener, there is no music.
Your musical influences
Biggest influences would have to include (but not be limited to) Hank Williams (Sr), The Beatles, Jim Reeves, Ray Price, and Waylon Jennings.
What equipment do you use?
I use a Roland Guitar Synthesizer and, on occasion, electric drummers when economics dictate.
Anything else?
I do not use any drugs or alcohol.........and I am an insulin-dependent diabetic Viet Nam Veteran.
