Shadestream
Shadestream is meant to be the creative outlet for my solo musical meanderings.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
The study of History is a waste of Time.....
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Until very recently I played guitar for a Garage/Alternative/Psychedelic/Folk band called The Steeds. The band wasn't playing out as much as I'd like, and the musical direction was not the path I wished to follow. At 51, lugging heavy equipment around has gotten old...lol...but as long as I can pull my Fender Twin amp out of the trunk of my car without hurting myself, I'm still up for playing out. Again, Shadestream is meant as a studio solo outlet.
Your musical influences
Long time fan of Yes, Pink Floyd and very early Genesis. I have a high appreciation for the energy of the 60's garage bands like Chocolate Watchband, Beau Brummels, Ugly Ducklings, Barry and The Remains, 13th Floor Elevators....the list is endless...
What equipment do you use?
Fender twin reverb amp; an assortment of guitars...Gibson, Fenders, and Danelectro's; Yamaha keyboard and drum machine and a Wurlitzer electric Piano (same model Richard Wright used on early Floyd tours)...
Anything else?
I now do all my home recording on computer using Cubase.
