Band/artist history
The Members of Omega include: PHOOMIN MANEECHOTE: Guitar/Keyboards, Songwriter, Producer Phoomin writes, performs and produces original music. In addition to performing with Omega, he has recorded for After Hour and Strictly Hype Records, collaborated and performed for SportsChannel Cable TV for the Bulls and White Sox games. He also has performed in the house band at Excaliber Club and played in various local rock bands. Phoomin is a versatile player able to perform and compose in many styles including Rock, Jazz, Brazilian Jazz, New Age. Among his influences he cites The Beatles, Elton John, Michael Schenker, Joe Satriani, Baden Powell, etc... RON ANDERSON: Drums-Percussion and Vocal-Percussion Ron brings a 30-year package of experiences. The credit list includes Ramsey Lewis, Lou Rawls, The Captain & Tennille, and in the Summer of 2000, a tour of Australia with SINEThe Band and The Metropolis Youth Symphony-led by accomplished Classical Performer, Conductor, Producer and Arranger, Robert Ian-Winstin-for the Olympic Torch Relay. Rons mentors include Billy Cobham, Steve Gadd, Lenny White, and Tony Williams, to name a choice few. Like these music legends, there have been many occasions where Ron would sit-in with a band, and it would sound as if theyve been rehearsing for years. Jazz/Rock-Fusion is Rons first love, but good music comes in many forms, and he doesnt shy away from any of them. ROBERT DODSON: Bass/Guitar/Songwriter Robert has played guitar in several local bands in the Chicago area, including a stint with the traveling band backing soul legend Otis Clay. As time progressed, his perspectives continued to expand, encompassing a keen interest in all genres and forms of music from classical to country, bluegrass to bebop and everything in between. A natural extension of his guitar playing was the addition of bass guitar. As a bassist, Robert, along with Ron, in the Summer of 2000, toured Australia with SINEThe Band and The Metropolis Youth Symphony for the Olympic Torch Relay. He cites as influences many of his favorite artists including Miles Davis, Jimi Hendrix, Stanley Clarke, Chick Corea, Marcus Miller, Ron Carter, Carlos Santana and Jaco Pastorius to name a few.
