This is my return to the music industry after a 7-year hiatus due to a long battle with alcohol abuse. In late 2007, I recored 2 self-written & performed albums, "Rough Edges" & "Straight Lines", letting loose the latter on the public with a greater response in volume & nature than expected. I started in the live music industry at 16 & went as far as one can in Tasmania, then I blinked & was married, a father of 2, divorced & a recovering alcoholic. After this I played the acoustic circuit, but alcohol become my priority, hence my 7-year hiatus from the industry as I have never so much as thought about doing anything musical whislt drinking.
Band/artist history
Probably best to visit my website as it would clog up this area. http:scotsbob.webs.com
Have you performed in front of an audience?
Haven't performed live in a rock band since the early-mid-90s. Have played just about every acoustic venue in the State. Special moments...touring with "The Party Boys", support gigs for James Reyne, Deborah Conway & support gig for "The Angels" on New Years Eve, '91.
Your musical influences
The Rolling Stones, Warren Zevon, The Faces, Status Quo, Mick Taylor, Joe Walsh, Keith Richards, Bob Dylan, Ronnie Wood
What equipment do you use?
Fender Strat Plus, Ibanez Bass, Gretch Drums, Yamaha Keyboards, Vox Amp, Roland Effects.
Anything else?
I'm a football (soccer) fanatic. My favourite player was the late George Best; Pele' & Maradonna agree with me on tht. Pele' even fouled him once as he was the only player who could ALWAYS get around him. Being Scottish, I tend to use the 'F' word a bit, but being a father of 2 & State Registered Nurse, I know when NOT to.

Too cool can hear lots of influences shinging through on this one-Stones, ZZ Top just brought back lots of memories made me wanna get up and dance. Wish my old dancing gfriend Mary was here we'd a tore up the house,lol. Super! big hugs, Colleen
Definitely a classy Classic Rock style tune. Super picking, really nice riffs, nice vox and solid song! Big hugs, Colleen
Impressive Yank accent on this one!
