GC Rivers
GC Rivers.... raw, down-right dirty blues!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
My first exposure to the blues was in 2000, and that's where I found my calling. Although I had previous guitar playing experience, I had never played an electric, and had not been playing for about 10 years. I decided to play the blues, because it really touched my soul, and have being doing so since 2002.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
What real musician doesn't like to play live? Any time I get into the groove with my bandmates is a special moment.
Your musical influences
Hendrix, Clapton, Howlin' Wolf, Muddy Waters.
What equipment do you use?
American Fender Deluxe Strat, Gibson flying-V. Voodoo Lab Micro-Vibe and Overdrive pedals, Cry-baby, Line-6 Echo Park, Boss Trem. Modified Fender Hot-Rod deluxe amp.
Anything else?
What makes my band unique is our ability to get low-down and dirty with some good old-fashioned blues, and immediately switch to some heavy-handed rock n' roll.
