Len Trout
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Only in support of a CD release. That means not nearly enough! The cost of touring pretty much limits me to getting the biggest bang for the buck with a new release. Sad but true. As far as where I've played...I think probably anyplace there was electricity! Clubs, concert halls, arenas, back to clubs. I've never done a Bar Mitzvah! I may have overlooked a huge market!
Your musical influences
My greatest musical influence was my Grand Father, he introduced me to music and the guitar. My secondary influences were the great innovators of the guitar in the 60's and 70's. Players like Jeff Beck, Alan Holdsworth, Carlos Santana and Jimi Hendrix were my biggest influences.
What equipment do you use?
American made Jackson, Fender and BC Rich Guitars. Soldano and Legacy Amps. Celestion Greenbacks, Mesa Tubes. Processors by Eventide, Lexicon, Rocktron and Digitech. Seymour Duncan Pickups and GHS Strings.
