Blue Bag

Just when this one lulls you into it's mellow, laid-back, bluesy riff, it sneaks up and slams you upside the head for all it's worth.

Band/artist history
Guitarist, has remained the one constant with over the years. Based out of the western suburbs of Chicago, the band has taken many turns in band members over the past 15 years. Drummer Dave Goode kept in touch with Gary after they met while Dave was touring as Frank Marino's drummer. This summer Dave and Gary have been collaborating on a number of new songs, via the internet. Many include the talents of bassist, Mike Cowden, and others give Gary a chance to add his own basslines. Called appropriately, , Gary and Dave have been completing at least one new song, weekly, this summer. current CD, , starts and ends with it's heavier metal tracks. Trace Cronin was bassist from 2004-2010. Drummer, Victor Salazar added his talents to a few of the tracks that were added on or updated later in 2006. The primary style of the band is Progressive Rock Instrumental. There are some Jazz-Fusion influences, but the music has a metallic edge to it,and remains very rocky. The past 4 CD's have been self-produced by the band digitally in our own studio. Previous projects were all done in Chicago studios. Jon Maru played bass for most of that period, but there have been several different drummers. Lamar Almeida played most of the songs recorded on REDSHIFT with Steve Blank, Gary, and Jon Maru, opened for the French Prog/fusion band, in 1999, when they made their first US tour, in Chicago. Earlier, Gary and his first band, had opened for , Brett Garsed's and TJ Hemerlich's fusion band, in the mid 90's. Gary's biggest thrill was when , featuring Victor Salazar and Trace Cronin opened for in 2005.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
GARY SKOPICK'S REDSHIFT is more of a concert band, than a bar band. We play all originals at our gigs. We just played a great gig of a lifetime, opening for guitar legend, Frank Marino and Mahogany Rush. Frank Marino inspired Gary, at an early age, and it was an honor to be on the stage that night.
