R Preston Maddox -
Original songs of life, love, humor, praise and thanksgiving from a son of the West Virginia hills.Band/artist history
Long haired hippy guitar player from the 60's infesting every bar,club, frat house, etc. for a chance to play. A wife & children turned me into a solid citizen and the Lord took mercy on me and allowed me to play for His glory. Doing my own material for over two years, now.Have you performed in front of an audience?Sure do. Churches, coffee houses, festivals, youth rallys, and anyplace I'm invited that I feel comfortable with. It's euphoric anytime you connect with an audience.
Your musical influences
I took guitar lessons from James Taylor, Paul Simon, Duane Allman & Clapton, & bass lessons from Felix Pappalardi, Lee Sklar & Jack Bruce.
Grew up listening to country, rock, bluegrass and classical. Might hear a little of all these in my material.What equipment do you use?
Taylor 612CE, 614CE and 810CE-L7 acoustics, Telecaster and Les Paul electrics, Aria bass, Yahmaha keyboardAnything else?
Sites like these turn it all loose . . . the good, the bad, the ugly, and the wannabes. Got to sift through a lot of detritus to find some nuggets, but hey, it's America and everybody can get at least a shot if they try.All comments (1)
