About Me

The "TRUTH" is I don't have a band... I've been playing for nearly 15 years on the Providence club, bar, coffee house circuit. My musical origins began with folk & blues, travelled through rock & hardcore and made a pit stop at Hip Hop. Any kind of music lover will find something they like in my set...even your moms. So I guess you could say I am genreless. If you come to a live show, you can expect an intense set of original music mixed with covers ranging from Bob Dylan to Biggie Smalls. So check out my tracks and see what you think, bitches!Much Love, Big Jon TierneyP.S. HOORAY FOR BOOBIES!!!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/2/2006
Band Website: you are on it...doosh bag
Band Members: Just Me...seeking hot ladies of all shapes and sizes!
Influences: Growing up as the "son of a preacher man" (think "Footloose" meets the "apostle"), I was forbade to listen to any secular music save "Van Morrison", "James Taylor","Chicago" & "Peter, Paul, & Mary." This cultivated an original sound and style that was later influenced by REM, Indigo Girls, BILLY BRAGG, & The CURE. As an angry, stoned high school drop out, I listened to SICK OF IT ALL, PANTERA, CYPRUS HILL, BEASTIE BOYS, & hardrock, rap crossover bands like RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE. It was about then that I discovered frontmen such as EDDY VEDDER, ADAM DURITZ (Counting Crows), & SHANNON HOON (Blind Melon) and started writing introspective, moody teenage angst songs about love & life. All the while, I have had a strong love for hip-hop...BIGGIE SMALLS, GURU, PETE ROCK, ICE CUBE, TRIBE CALLED QUEST, ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT & DE LA SOUL... These days, I've been into DAVID GRAY, DAMIEN RICE, COLDPLAY, JACK JOHNSON, AMOS LEE, BEN HARPER, & RYAN ADAMS. My guilty pleasures include; Justin Timberlake, Keith Urban, Rascal Flats, Christina Aguillera, Jay Z, & Kanye West...Hey, don't hate the playa, hate the game! I am also influenced by copious amounts of ganja, the ocean, the BIG LEBOWSKI, BRAD OBRIEN (poet, musician, friend...), genuine people, & copious amounts of ganja.
