Sounds Like: Hey everyone----Well this month I have decided to feature some recordings I appeared on.TRACK 1------Represents my flatpick guitar endeavors, my silly little drunken Bluegrass spin--"wilder and wilder" with Dan Griesen on Mando--
I guess I am a hick after all!
TRACK 2-------Sean Benjamin is our local hero here in Lincoln, NE. A Rockabilly Hall of Famer and true bluesman from the past, he has played with everyone from T-Bone Walker to the Everly Brothers. Recently Sean has recorded with the great percussionist Ainsley Dunbar. I am honored to have played and appeared on CD with Sean.-------TRACK 3-------- --Over the years I have played with The Kris Lager Band extensively on and off since 1998, and these guys really have a smokin' band now with AC Wright on Bass and John Fairchild on drums. This recording involved Drew Steen now with The Elected in Los Angelos on drums and was was released in 2006, check out their myspace in my friends list and catch the current lineup live!-------
!TRACK 4 The SAVANTS is a band I am currently with and this is a recording from last week at Duggan's Pub. The well published Dave Steen has written for Junior Wells, Maria Muldaur, Solomon Burke, Coco Montoya, many others and leads this 3-piece.
Not bad for a board recording!-----*********************** BIO---
Having played bass with dozens and dozens of projects for 20 years of many styles, I never settled into any particular one. And I like it that way--music buffetHere's some of the nice people and shitheads I have had the pleasure to perform and/or record withTrip Gyspsies, Ripple Effect, Sarabande Jazz, The Jerry Pranksters, The Coopers, Hot Club of Lincoln, The Swampmasters, The Flatwater Boyz, Kris Lager Band, The Sean Benjamin Band, Lil' Slim and the Blues Bullets, The MARX, Pickle and the G-Tones, The Pickled Blues Band, Coco Montoya, Baby Jason and the Spankers, Blown Away Blues Band, The Blues Cruisers, Captain Kind, Wang Dang Doodle, The Amalgamators, East Wind, The BART Boys, Just Cookin', The Shroomin' Blues, Jak Benny, Barb's Large Liver, C.A. Waller, Rival, New Vision, The Blues Devilles, Low Profile, The Savants, SloBurn, Magic Slim, James Valentine, Mike and AJ Mogis, Sean Beste, The Minnesota Max Band, etc...Thanks to MySpace for allowing me to get something out of this cornfield I call my home. I play acoustic music when I am not jamming on bass with different groups, and allows me to express myself as a solo artist. I love jazz, bluegrass, folk, country, blues, country blues, classical, weird and can't seem to decide on what style I should be. So I jump around. I perform different venues 'round town and always open to new suggestions on new places to visit and perform. Contact me at [email protected] My new solo effort CD is underway and will be released sometime in the next few months! Peace to you Pickle
