About Me

WWW.IanNewbillBand.com or www.mysoace.com/newbillmusicHi,Those of you who know me know that I am currently playing bass in a band for a country artist named Ian Newbill. Those of you who REALLY know me know that I gave up trying to chase the elusive music career in 1992 and would only have agreed to attempt something like this again if there was something incredibly special about the material. Well, there is.Ian is a good friend of mine, but I do not let that cloud my judgement. His songwriting and lyrical content come from the heart, are based on life experiences, and are downright catchy. All of these are ingredients for hit music. But don't take my word for it, judge for yourself. There are 2 websites where you can sample Ian's songs. www.myspace.com/newbillmusic and www.iannewbillband.com.Ian recently signed a production deal, which basically means that a production company is willing to record an album at their own expense and will only be compensated for it if they secure him a record deal. Believe me when I say that no producer would do something like this if they weren't very confident that they can make this happen.The CD is now complete and a limited number of advance copies are available. I have a few, if anyone is interested...

As for me personally, I have recently started up my own promotion company, Scarrett Productions, and am working with Borderline in Thousand Oaks to promote a country showcase once a month.Life is currently very busy, which is good, because life is meant to be lived. It also should not be taken too seriously, after all, as a wise man once said, none of us gets out of it alive. ;-)

My Interests

I have interests in a variety of things, including; Motorcycle riding, scuba diving, flying (I have 16 hours of flight time and eventually will complete my private pilot liuscense) and music. I currently play bass guitar for an up-and-coming country artist named Ian Newbill (check out his my-space page, I think you will agree that he is destined to be big). I also play guitar and sing in a classic rock/blues band with a group of friends.
