D.J Sharman's Blues Bar

About Me

"D.j is a solo Blues artist heavily influenced by the roots of the blues. Playing mostly delta blues style and taking back some old Chicago tunes. Original songs and re-works of "classics". Usually playing solo but sometimes with great friends and great musicians. Often seen on his steel guitar, but also found playing beat up electrics...Muddy Waters invented electricity for a reason! Enjoying recording but the real essence is in his live performances, engaging the audience and sharing a drink or two. Often likened to an early Tom Waits singin the blues!..or so he's been told. Choosing to play all venues but really likes to take the "blues" to new audiences. Showing people where this great music came from, and hopefully re-kindle interest in the originals."I edited my profile with Thomas Myspace Editor V4.4 (www.strikefile.com/myspace)
