Gary the Band

About Me

AudioGonzo has been around many years, formerly based in Austin and now located in Tyler Texas. The brainchild of Songwriter and record producer Gary York, Audiogonzo exists only in the recording studio with Gary playing all the instruments on the songs. AudioGonzo, Gary York and Mellow Morning Music are part of the next generation music business, or raher anti-business. In the 70s when radio and record labels controlled the marketplace and airwaves, it seemed that only a few chosen people had real talent. These days a look around Myspace will reveal millions of folks are incredible talented and the state of the art grows daily.

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 29/09/2007
Band Website: myspace.com/audiogonzo
Band Members: AudioGonzo is a one man studio band and creation of songwriter Gary York. The music available at www.mellowmorningmusic.com is unique and can't be recreated with a live band since Gary is a Bohemian Jam Session type and never plays the songs the same way anyway. Creation is the idea. Take the basic framework of a song and ad lib around that. when Gary does play live shows (which is rare since the congestive heart failure limits his physical efforts) he allows the musicians he hires to work with him the freedom to create their own parts and have fun with the songs too.
Influences: Beatles, Grateful Dead, Pink Floyd, Bob Dylan, Willie Nelson, Freddy Powers, Merle Haggard, Conway Twitty, Dewey Cox, Jerry Jeff Walker, Buckwheat Stevenson, Townes Van Zandt, Guy Clark, Greezy Wheels, Moby Grape, Emerson Lake and Palmer, Eagles, Hank Williams Sr., Louis Armstrong, Charlie Christian, Django Reinhardt and many many more.
Sounds Like: a jam session with a bunch of really great pickers only it is just one guy overdubbing real instruments in the studio.
Record Label: Mellow Morning Music
Type of Label: Indie

Playing music is merely speaking a language using instruments and proper grammer is what seperates the performers from the mere players. Do your homework and take pride in your work.         Then you ...
