Neall Alcott
I started playing guitar when I was around 14 or so. Expanded onto other instruments (piano/keys, bass, vocals) when playing in some bands.
I got into songwriting after delving into the Beatles catalog. At the time everything was 4 track. It was fun, but alot of work for so-so results.
I've recently got back into writing and recording and the ease and efficiency of recording with today's technology has blown me away.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Only privately.
Your musical influences
The Beatles, XTC, Michael Penn, Matthew Sweet, Tom Petty, Lindsay Buckingham, Adrian Belew
What equipment do you use?
