Bill Bairley
HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
At the tender age of fifteen I hitch-hiked from Detroit to Key West with a guitar and a harmonica and played for tips in "The Bull", a bar that still stands to this day. After 20 years of club and studio work I settled in Orlando and built Bad Bear Studios, a recording and mastering facility catering to independent, original artists. I have new music coming out all the time, so check back soon.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I gig in Florida, formerly with Native Tongue.
Your musical influences
Robben Ford, John Scofield, Keb Mo', Robert Cray, Bruce Hornsby, Delbert McClinton, BB, Freddie and Albert King, Scott Henderson, Larry Carlton, Lee Ritenour, Bill Evans, McCoy Tyner, Ry Cooder, Robbie Robertson, Santana, Tower of Power, Little Feat
What equipment do you use?
I play all the instruments except horns. I record Sequoia 8.2, and Sonar Producer Edition 5.2.
Anything else?
My raccoon Simon says hi to everyone.
He's learning how to wrap up cables. He already knows how to unwrap them.
