Allan Truesdell
Allan is originally from upstate NY but has lived in several places around the country.
Allan is currently a full-time musician working mainly in the Florida Keys. His original material and performance's are becoming well known in the upper keys.
He took a break from his original material for awhile and is now back in full swing.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Played the role as front man for many cover and original bands over the years, mainly performing rock. Strange for a fella that grew up with (and still has a passion for) old country.
The love of country and folk mixed with the serious rock background is what created my folk-rock sound.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play 6 shows a week in the Florida Keys and travel to other locations on request. Living and playing in a resort paradise is always a special moment.
Your musical influences
Neil Young, Eric Clapton, Johnny Cash, Led Zepplin, Jim Croce, Nazareth, Jim Reeves, Damn, I could go on forever!
What equipment do you use?
Well, lots of stuff so how about my favorite? My Guild D55 is the best guitar I've ever played. I beat the shit out of it every night and it always sounds great, holds up well, and is pretty as all getout!
Anything else?
Go to itunes or Amazon and buy some music! Or look at the booking info and book a show!
The only reason I do the rest of this is because I love to play. I'll do the solo acoustic cover act in your pub, the solo original act in a coffee house or bring a whole band and have some fun with good ol' Rock and Roll from the album! Better yet, book one of each. Hell, book two their small!
