C Me C Me
A mid tempo instrumental. Rock, with a slight jazz & R&B feel to it. To give an idea of what I can do as a guitarist. This is a one minute version, edited to play as a loop. (my air brush work, in the photo)
ALL GOT RYHTHM ALL GOT RYHTHM
A slightly funky, mid-tempo, rock tune, with guitar fills. This is a one minute version, edited to play as a loop. (my air brush work, in the photo)
EMERALD DESIRE EMERALD DESIRE
A mellow instrumental track that highlights a more laid back, melodic, guitar feel. Sort of a 'Moby' meets 'Jeff Beck' style. There's the odd glitch, but I like the mood. (there's a 2 second blank spot on the intro)
JEALOUSY JEALOUSY
A mid-tempo 'Bryan Adams' style commercial rock tune, with guitar fills. This is a low resolution, one minute version, edited to play as a loop. (my air brush work, in the photo)
SIDESTEP SIDESTEP
An instrumental track, with a melodic but slightly more assertive lead guitar approach. (there's a 2 second blank spot on the intro)
TIGERBLUE - are a band fusing elements of: 70's-ROCK, 80's-FUNK & 90's-JAZZ, blended with subtle PROGRESSIVE influences to form their own unique sound. The songs are always melodic & accessible, yet musically challenging in structure & chord voicing. Altering from driving funk/rock groves to airy hypnotic textures, contrasting dynamics & a high level of musicianship are an expected mainstay of any Tigerblue performance.
What makes their sound so full for just 3 musicians, are their individual arrangements for guitar & bass & use of vocal harmonies. But don't let the name confuse you. Although there are certain blues elements to their name & music, they are definitely not a blues band.
To compare their sound to established artists, a blend of the:
Rock side of BRYAN ADAMS & POWER STATION
Improvised elements of CREAM & JIMI HEDRIX
Jazz/Funk side of JEFF BECK, STING & PRINCE
More atmospheric touches of PINK FLOYD & U-2Founded by guitarist/singer/songwriter Michael Taer in Montreal in the mid 90's, TIGERBLUE are a trio that have had various members through out their history.
Initially inspired by 70's rock groups with a slight progressive edge, later more funk & jazz influences were added. The goal was to create music that stood out from mainstream radio, yet still remained accessible to the average listener.
