Banjolismo bass drum thunder funk!

About Me

one guy plays the bass drum with one foot tied behind his back (jk) the other is a tamborine player by the name of lefty, the drummer is called mr. goodfoot. banjolismo mysteriosos is the the banjo player's name and I am witch doctor leopold on the microphone jazz jam. I do a one man band thing, it's funky, I like hip(py) hop & abstract swamp rock with striped socks & glammy glitter. I like the gobbelin style, harlequin patchwork, mixed with various bits of this & that. I am good at what I do and ready to prove it, so make me an offer. I'm looking for gigs & I'm not too picky; I will play your birthday, barbecue, wedding, theme party or open up for your band, burlesque, cabaret, vaudeville variety circus show and get your crowd ready to rock, roll, cut loose & have a blast. bona fide! I can play a 30-45 minute set or longer or shorter/multiple sets/themes. to book me just follow the email link at my site & send your proposal to http://www.1manbanjo.com It's just me, my banjo, kick drum, and a tamborine. I've been working on this shtick for over 11 years, and I ain't stopping any time soon. I have several full length c.d.s available and will be making my way around the bay area as well as planning tours to the surrounding areas. If you like this, check out my other band the Hobo Gobbelins www.hobogoblins.com , for a boot stompin hootenany good time!!! . I also play the bass drum for extra action marching band www.extra-action.com ************************************************************ **** SOUND REQUIREMENTS (please read for booking): vocal mic w/ stand, direct line in for banjo, mic for bass drum kick, mic for tamborine.I can also do a straight accoustic set, however, you may not be able to hear the vocals as well, especially in larger areas or outside events wher many subtle nuances may be lost.xoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxoxox oxoxoxoxoset length is flexable (30-45minutes=no problem), a great opening act, only needs about 5-10 minutes to set up/sound check. if info about the event is available, I like to tailor my sets to match the venue. ************************************************************ **** I play swamp glam, hoodoo blues, banjo funk, old timey tunes, gobbelin music, bittersweet & 4 dimensional romantic numbers, pirate & drinking songs, hobo & trainriding traditionals, excerpts from the cheshire rock opera, selections from our current collective of songwriters (see hobo gobbelins, sour mash hug band, chainz, accordion plague, ect.), and what I call the harlequin theory and the patchwork of songs which is it's legacy. .oO)0(Oo.oO)0(Oo.oO)0(Oo.oO)0(Oo.oO)0(Oo.oO)0(Oo.oO)0(Oo.oO) 0(Oo.
