The Bad Hawaiian Shirts is a solo project but I am open to bringing in other musicians to collaborate from time to time. I record for the fun of it, in the basement"Almost all the early recordings were instrumentals but I am now experimenting with vocals.
Band/artist history
I started playing drums in my teens, played in a couple of bands at school but nothing serious. I learned to play classical guitar in my twenties and then forgot how to in my thirties! We moved to the US in 2003 and we had more space and fewer neighbors to annoy so I bought myself a drum kit and started playing again. I followed this up with a cheap guitar pack and then bass, keyboard and 8 track recorder. We moved back to the UK in 2008 and I have continued to play, but mainly guitar. In the last two years I have started singing and the new recordings are all vocal tracks.
Your musical influences
I like everything from soul to hard rock. I grew up in the UK listening to everything from Northern soul, punk, new wave and classic rock. Currently my favourite rock band is The Tragically Hip but I also love the Scottish band The Bathers and Anna Calvi. Other artists on heavy rotation are Arcade Fire, The National, Sophie B Hawkins, Springsteen, Tom McRae, Ray Lamontagne, Pearl Jam, Shiney Toy Guns, The Hothouse Flowers, Ismael Lo, Robert Palmer & Big Head Todd & the Monsters.

Great song Russell you have an awesome voice 👏
Hi!. Check out my stuff and follow4follow please! :)
Great idea of an arrangment. Love the guitar work and the drums. I keep hearing in my mind a bass - I think that would of be a great addition to this. But as is the whole production is great and the guitar work is excellent. Nice job.
Cool guitar lycs. I'm digg'n it a lot. Nicely done.
Thanks, I am still just learning to record (and play!) so hopefully things will get better. I just re-visited your page, I had originally missed the Road Apples tracks, there is some killer stuff there. I hope I can get it to sound as tight one day. All the best.
