A solo effort here. All sorts. Blues, Rock, Jazz, bit Country too sometimes. Experimental even. Not so much in the past but I grew up a bit.

I Wasn't Looking I Wasn't Looking
A song about the sadness I feel at the passing on of my dad.
Battle of the Bottle Battle of the Bottle
This came out of realitty. I would hazard a guess that a few others will relate somewhat.
I'm just a muso who is passionate about music. I love performing and writing and would do this full time if it paid the bills. (Dammed reality) I play Bass mainly but do a bit of playing around on guitar as well.
I play live in two bands. Quadraphonic, which is a covers band with a few originals and Green Room which is a rock 70s style covers band. Great sound too.
Then there is the studio side of my music. Gone WIld has released two albums, the second being a double album.
I am also recording a solo album. This is a labour of love for me and when the studio is built I'll be getting back into it.
Well, seems I forgot to update this, sorry...
We now have a new house with a studio under it. I've recorded a five track CD with Boxcar Brown. Recorded a few more demo level songs which are getting ready for recording soon. Check the facebook page for Boxcar Brown...

Should give you an idea of what we're like.Band/artist history
I've played in a number of bands. Currently playing in Quadraphonic with Rob Smith and have formed another one.
We finally came up with a name. Boxcar Brown. Cool band too. First two drummers didn't quite have their hearts in it. The third time lucky drummer has played with John and myself before with Dr Hoos Blues Band. Bit like getting the band back together.
Looking forward to playing with Steve again.Have you performed in front of an audience?No except with the bands I'm in. Doubt I'd have the courage to perform live and solo. I'm a bit shy.
Your musical influences
Classic Rock, Blues, Jazz, Delta Blues.
I love slide guitar.What equipment do you use?
Fender guitars and basses
Behringer bass 300W head.
2x10" and 1 x 15" bass cabs
fx and some acoustics.
Johnson single cone steel body resonator.Anything else?
Well yes. I didn't have a platform to share my music untill Soundclick. (thanks guys) Now I have a few efforts out there
http://www.soundclick.com/drhoos
and I feel great about it. Quite the good feeling knowing someone out there enjoys what I do.
There is also an album out that has made me a happy lad. GONE WILD is a rock band that you might like to check out.

I'd love to know what you think.
We have now finished a second album. GONE WILD II. A double album.
Now that's done I'll be working full time (sort of) on my solo effort. The title is "Solo & Friends - A Walk in my Shoes".
Boxcar Brown ground to a halt when the drummer moved to Wellington and one of the guitarists got sick. Pity, BB was a great originals band.
Have a new band called Green Room. Played twice now to great reviews. Getting some bookings coming in too. Eventually will be adding some originals in there, Already have one ready to start learning.Contact

Played this on a Johnson single cone steel body resonator guitar and my original Diplomat semi acoustic bass.
Right then. Gone Wild is done & dusted. Someone decided I didn't need an income from working and I decided I need to pay the mortgage. End of line.
I'm currently working on getting some recording done for Boxcar Brown. Two sessions planned for next week. One in a pub and one at String Studios (my place). Now take note. The one in the pub will just be for recording. No booze allowed till we get home. Not so for the string Studios sessions. I have a beer fridge just outside the studio door. (nice) So anyway, keep an eye here as there will be a tune up soon.
Ben forgetting to come here and update. Look out for Boxcar Brown as we just did a gig and recorded it. Will be in the studio soon.
This page will be getting new songs added in the near future. I am working on a solo album. Called Solo & Friends, it will be myself with invited guests on it for certain tracks. I'm writing and arranging all the songs and for the parts I feel I can't / won't / shouldn't do I'll be inviting friends on board to lay down a part. It's gonna take a while.
I'm looking forward to getting this album under way and will be the culmination of a wide range of styles. You'll hear blues, rock, bit of jazz, even some country feels mixed in. gonna be an all sorts affair.
