Used to be in bands, now I have kids instead :-) These tunes are pretty much studio tunes, although very much in the style of stuff a band could do... I try to stay true to instrument placement, part complexity etc....
Band/artist history
Already burbled about this in some other comments in here...
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I have played live, and I much prefer it over studio work. The first take is the only take - there's something amazing about that experience. There's just too much time to second guess and post process in the studio, takes away from the sheer musical enjoyment of it. There's also too much of a "sonic fingerprint" from one person making all of the decisions - it's hard to find real variety in your sound...
Your musical influences
Eagles, Creedence, Doobies, Clint Black, George Strait, Garth Brooks, ZZ Top, Nazareth, John Pizarelli, Allison Krauss, Dan Seals, Lee Ritenour, Eric Clapton... major influence over time from top 40 country, classic rock, and later from blues, jazz, alternative rock & country....
What equipment do you use?
Lots of guitars, every one different.... I need more bass guitars. I have a banjo too, and would like to get a mandolin. Anything with strings.... My main recording setup is Cubase running on two old Yamaha DS2416 cards (which I love, latency or not). Outside I have a rack full of various stuff. Biggest contributors are the Boss GX700, Korg X5DR, and an old Alesis D4, but with VST, that's starting to change too....
Anything else?
Had a hell of a time categorizing my music in here, because I record all sorts of different musical feels. A song will inspire me, and I'll dive into that genre for a tune, even though it's not core to my musical background. I'll probably end up with more than one band setup in here because I can't really post grunge into a country and western band setup, now can I?
