Big City Pigeon
Big City Pigeon is a fusion of Blues and Hip-Hop with an electronic rock twist. George Macris is on guitar, bass guitar and lead vocals and is also credited for inking the lyrics to their freshman album "Fendakai" (FEN-duh-k'eye). Darryl Moore Jr. aka Rhyno Beatz does the beats, samples, and synths and is also credited for the mixing and mastering on the album. BCP was born in the heart of Canton Ohio, home of the Pro Football Hall of Fame. George Macris is the lead singer in a blues, rock band The Miles Ahead Band and Rhyno Beatz is working on a career in production and DJing under the name DJ DMJ. The name "Fendakai" was birthed due to the fact the album was almost entirely produced with Georges Fender Telecaster guitar and Darryl's Akai MPC sampler. So sit back, relax and let the sounds of Big City Pigeon take you on a journey that you've never been on before.
