Ian Cathcart

About Me

Since before the Half Crown Pub (and that's a while) Ian has been blessing us with his musical presence. Not only can he play a host of instruments and step into virtually any instrumentalist's shoes with confidence and humility, but he does a damn good job, too. A ham at heart, he always has the latest joke or pun on the tip of his tongue -- ready to make you laugh and groan.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 31/01/2007
Band Website: Right here! Step up, listen, and smile!
Band Members: Ian in his own words: "I have been playing as part of the L.I. scene for about 25 years. I play cover material on acoustic guitar & harmonica. Songs that everyone knows the words to. Requests are taken with varying degrees of grace and cost varying amounts of money. ;) I'll occasionally throw in an original tune as the spirit moves me."
Influences: Too many! Mendelsohn, Beethoven, Beatles, Stones, Nat "King" Cole, L.I. Fisherman, Johnny Cash, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holliday,The Originals, The New Originals, Captain Geetch & the Shrimp Shack Shooters!
Sounds Like: Do you want to experience perfect pitch nirvana? Blisteringly fantastic harmonies that send you soaring? Want to trip back in time as effortlessly as snapping your fingers? Ian can do it. His harmonies hearken us to remember those from The Beatles and Simon & Garfunkel (only much better!), make us want to sing along with him, and to get up and dance. *PS! This page is in the works so if you have something to add, please email us! Ian's such a complex (and great) musician that it's hard to scratch the surface of what makes him tick. You tell us!
Type of Label: Major
