About Me

Former label session/touring keyboard player always interested to hear of sessions/gigs and band/trio/duo projects that could be mutually benificial.A shortage of Bass players some years back required me to train my left hand to undertake the task with a keyboard split with now frightening independence! This hand has now moved into my house and stolen my wife, but at least turns up for gigs and plays in tune and in time with the rest of me. Can be very economic if this appeals. Add to this some passable vocals and my musical schizophrenia is complete.'Got It Good' is a Rob Attwood song from 'The Sporting Life'..a band I sessioned for. 'Women Like You' I wrote for the Steve Roux album for Pointblank, recorded at Kiva Studios Memphis. Steve sings this with me on real Wurly & Hammond. Everything else is keyboards, me & a drum box, except from some real drums courtesy of Bernie Fox recorded in the studios of Bob Ross & Gary Shaw. I'll change these from time to time to show some other music I am interested in so keep checking friends!See & hear also http://www.broad.ology.org.uk/bullfrogradio.html and http://musiciansexchangeonline.com/Matt_Little

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 05/09/2007
Band Website: http://bandmix.co.uk/matt-the-boogieman/
Band Members:Hands (x2), Voice (x1) Transport & Equipment
Influences: My piano playing draws on Albert Ammons, Jerry Lee Lewis, Jools Holland, Walt Richmond, Bill Payne, Garth Hudson and many Blues/Boogie & Rock n'Roll players. Ramsey Lewis, George Shearing and Nat King Cole are at the Jazzier end. My electric piano styles (Wurlitzer, Rhodes & Clav D6) add Joe Sample, Herbie Hancock, Stevie Wonder, Ray Charles to a list too long to mention. Oh and I dabble with the Hammond B3 sounds of Charlie Woods & Georgie Fame! I also play a bit of guitar here and there, and used to play a lot of flat picking bluegrass, as you may detect on 'Matt's Breakdown'. My brother learnt to play 5 string Banjo, but this recording is a keyboard sample with me playing the bluegrass rolls....not easy!
Sounds Like: ..Or rather 'sounds I like' Little Feat, Tractors, Ry Cooder, Delbert McClinton, Keb Mo, Bonnie Raitt, Faces, Rolling Stones, Bad Company, Rockin' Jimmy & The Brothers Of The Night, and all the roots from whence they came...
Record Label: Yes please, circular with a hole & my name on it.
Type of Label: Indie
