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
