I am a professional blues and rock guitarist, as well as being a singer/songwriter in my own blasphemously monikered power trio, Jesus Crowley, which I hope to get into the clubs this summer. I have played with a whole bunch of bands in Sacramento over the years. Notable gigs include ecclectic "world rock" with New World Primitive, over the top post-punk mayhem with a blues grounding with the Blue Limes, that funk rawk trip with Samsara, power pop with fangs with RazorLily, and a brief stint playing whatever you call what he does with Anton Barbeau.At this time, I play lead guitar with D-Con Jones, a jump blues trio featuring upright bass played brilliantly by the good Deacon himself.Jesus Crowley is a blues rock power trio with a noticble R&B slant. Our blashphemous name belies the accesability of our lyrics, only a few of which even touch upon the occult. Many of our hottest tunes center on the tried and true "boy meets girl, girl is unimpressed with boy because he is white and she is a hot spicy latina, boy casts love spell on girl, girl throws herself at boy and they elope under a silvery moon which then explodes for no adequitely explained reason."
Since it seems there is a bit of confusion, I'll list my influences here. Note the absence of names like Van Halen, Maalmsteen, Vai...etc... I am NOT a metal player.
