The Blue Smoke Band
The Blue Smoke Band has been an ongoing project for a dozen or so years. It started with two of us, blossomed to a few of us, and now it's just the one of us. We fight on the side of creativity. Share the joy. Play loud.
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Check us out on the web at www.theBlueSmokeBand.com and our co-founder at www.BuddyAndHopkins.com.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
I play in my house quite a bit. It is open to anyone who wants to see the show. There is always plenty of food, drink, and fun. Come along :)
Your musical influences
J.J. Cale is the reason I play guitar. J.J. -- if you ever want a beer or a barbecue or a nice front porch to record a song, I've got just the right place. Others: Cowboy Junkies, Motorhead, Chris Isaak, etc. It gets kind of strange around here....
What equipment do you use?
The Les Paul Custom is the centerpiece of my home. The Epiphone acoustic is the best sound this side of $2500. And I've got a bunch of other stuff detailed on the site. Check it out if you're interested, or drop me a line: I love talking about recording!
Anything else?
Share the joy. Play loud.
