Bill Chandler
And you thought I had forgotten...
Thanks for stopping by my page. New music (finally!) as of January 16, 2006--"In The Circle" uploaded this morning.
More in the works--new recordings on the way!
Primarily acoustic singer/songwriter material here.
Guitar/vocals/bass/rhythm section/other instruments all done by Bill Chandler. Most of the recordings are done in my home studio.
Working on updating the site now.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
In a nutshell--I started playing guitar when I was 10; got serious about it at 14; added bass at 15, and went on from there. I've been singing all along. Went to Berklee from 1980-1984, graduated with a degree in Professional Music, principal instrument of Tuba...which is why I now work with computers and play guitar and bass on the side. Been writing for years, never as prolific as I'd like to be, but I keep at it.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not currently playing out--but I'm working on that...stay tuned.
Your musical influences
Folk/rock--influences include Harry Chapin, John Hiatt, Tom Waits, Warren Zevon, Bob Dylan, Jackson Browne, Dan Fogelberg, Crosby Stills Nash & Young
What equipment do you use?
Well, I ain't techno or electronica...Guild acoustic guitars (6- and 12-string); Fender Highway 1 Stratocaster electric guitar, Fender Precision bass, Boss DR-5 for rhythm section and synth parts, recorded on a Frankentower PIII 533MHz machine (thanks, Jim!).
Anything else?
I'd like to thank the Academy (ok, never mind...) Thank you for supporting home-grown, home-made music!
