Most of what I post are tunes that I have recorded at my studio on either my roland vs1680 workstation or my new motu 8pre with Audiodesk. Most of these tunes are with me playing all the instruments and other special guests. Right now I am fronting my band BIG TIME. BIG TIME includes Myke Billings on guitar/vocals, Josh Mooers on vocals/guitar/keys, Donnie Kennedy on drums, Zack Redmann on bass, and Chad Arsenalt on keys.Also I frequently jam or sit in with various local musicians including: Paul Bosse(the beat mechanic), Les Rhoda(alien journalism), Erik Dahlgren, Souder 'n Williams Blues Band, Tom Small(Nobis), Anthony Drouin, The Lokal Yokels(Irish jam), Tom Meehan(jazz), Bill Giordano, and the list goes on.
Influences: There are more than this. In fact I have been influenced as much by the the musicians I'm surrounded with as I have by any and all of these musicians:Jimi Hendrix, Sheila Chandra, Django Reinhardt, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Medeski Martin & Wood, Jeff Buckley, Robert Johnson, Stevie Wonder, Charlie Hunter, Miles Davis, The New Deal, Chris Whitley, Timbaland, Digable Planets, Cinematic Orchestra, Jimmy Smith, Charlie Christian, John Coltrane, etc. ----------------------------------

Sounds Like: The me that is me plus a lil bit of who I listen to. Ancient peoples pass on cultures, traditions, and stories by word of mouth which requires ears, eyes,hearts and minds.. I feel even more now that music is soo important to pass on from one great musician to another.CLICK ON THE SLIDESHOW AND HAVE FUN SHUFFLIN' ME AROUND! hA hA!
