T-Bone Fisher
T-Bone is hard core blues. He travels the world with one thing in mind--finding a new audience for his blues, which is a mix of old blues and his own, unique, new blues.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Played here there and everywhere. Lots of years on the circuit in Northwestern US, then more in the Caribbean, ending up in Venezuela for several years. Now Europe, mostly Amsterdam.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I'm currently playing all over Europe and I'll take bookings almost anywhere there is an audience.
Your musical influences
Leadbelly, Big Bill Broonzy and Blind Boy Fuller. When I met Brownie McGhee and he asked the same question, I didn't know that Brownie had learned from all these guys. It made us instant friends. Other influences include Muddy, Blind Blake, Elmore James and Robert Johnson.
Anything else?
Brownie McGhee once told me, a long time ago: "We may be fighting a losin' battle, but we're having a lot of fun along the way." Some things never change.
