My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 15/10/2006
Band Website: www.carson88.org/Music
Band Members: All the cool people I've played with along the way.
Influences: I think I'm influenced in some way by everything I hear. When it comes down to it, if I studied and thought long enough I could fill pages with lists of players that have somehow touched my thought process for making music.
As a guitar player for the last 30+ years it's hard to say what influenced me the most. Names that come to mind are Jeff Beck, Jimmy Page, James Taylor, Eric Clapton, B.B. King, Larry Carlton, Carlos Santana, John Fogerty, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Joe Walsh, Chet Atkins, Jeff Baxter, and the list goes on. SRV is probably the one that truly permeates the soul.
I started playing bass in 2002 and I'm finding that most of my influences have come from players in many of those same bands: John Paul Jones, Tommy Shannon, Berry Oakley, etc.
Sounds Like: Exactly what you're hearing! Oh yeah, and these guys: FiveTen , Firewatch andThe Transfusers .

Record Label: Unsigned

The Magic of 11/5

Three years ago I wrote a tune on my front porch. It was the 5th of November, the sun in the final throes of warming the earth before the big Minnesota chill engulfed the land. A rare balmy November d...
