I play simple striped down blues and old timey music. No frills no gimicks just me, guitar and sometimes a few instruments. I am 17 and have been at it for about a year. Mississippi Fred Mcdowell said it best "I don't play no rock and roll" influences include charley patton, dock boggs, will whitmore, blind willie johnson and a lot more. I am self taught in everything I do never had a lesson. Believe in the power of your ears kids!Have you performed in front of an audience?I play downtown on street corners on friday and saturday nights for drunk college kids. Taking their money, gettint to practice and getting heard is nice
Your musical influences
music from the 20's and 30's since it was raw and pure and still mainly a form of entertainment because there wasn't much radio or anything like that shortly before recorded music was introduced so the musicians recording came from a backround of this is what we do and the music was brought up in small communities with poor folks for entertainment and learned by ear. the real dealContact
