Jeffry Allred Band
"The Band" actually resides in my Apple computers, an iMac and MacBook pro. I play all the instruments except drums and they are programed by me in FXpansion's BFD drum software, fills are done on an Alesis ControlPad.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
I have been playing professionally off and on since 1978. I've done rock, jazz, lounge, metal, and now I'm still doing all the above with a Christ-like attitude.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not at this time, I used to but that was another life. I do intend to eventually do some live stuff. I do the occasional worship group thing at my church from time to time.
Your musical influences
Yes, Steely Dan, King Crimson, Motley Crue, man this list could go a long time. People like Paul McCartney, Chris Squier, John Entwistle, Sting, (Did I mention I was mainly a bass player?) and Phil Keaggy have been big influences as well.
