About Me
Doc Reed--THE REAL THING!///////Profile courtesy of MySpace Layouts//////HIRED GUN GUITARIST/GUITAR TEACHER/SINGER/SONGWRITER------Begining at the point when his friendship with the late DANNY GATTON started, BRINSON"DOC"REED became one of the foremost traditional TELECASTER players in the DC Metro area. Before that he had WRITTEN, SUNG, and played BASS. But upon hearing the AMAZING TALENT of GATTON on the TELECASTER, he was struck between the eyes(or ears). As a GUITARIST, Doc loves all manners of music. Particularly those with a lot of Swing, Chops, Colors, and Drive, such as Rockabilly, Hot country, R&B flavored Jazz. As a SONGWRITER, he favors a more lyrical approach such as LYLE LOVETT, GUY CLARK, or TOWNES VAN ZANDT, although SOMETIMES the two WORLDS COLLIDE!
After a long time on the club scene, he released his first CD "A DOWNHOME CIRCUS" (October2007} as a SINGER/SONGWRITER. DOC's music is very ROOTS oriented and draws from COUNTRY, ROCKABILLY, R&B, ROCK, JAZZ, GOSPEL, AND ACOUSTIC. Every song is an act of passion between DOC and his lifelong love, "THE GUITAR". Weaving melodies thru rhythms, he tells stories, explores musical lines, has adventures and hauls deep feelings into the naked light of reality. SINGING, WRITING, AND PLAYING as only a person who has SPENT HIS LIFE PERFORMING IN BARS can, DOC paints his word pictures. As he says about his SONGWRITING, "I lived it, and watched it being lived."
HE IS CURRENTLY WRITING, TEACHING, AND WORKING on his NEXT ALBUM.////////////" A DOWNHOME CIRCUS" is AVAILABLE ON this page, as well as CDBABY AND iTUNES--CHECK OUT THE SWINGIN' TELECASTER TUNE ////WEEKEND AT JV'S////ON WORLD FAMOUS JV'S, MYSPACE page.Check out DOC's BIO under his blogs.*www.docreedguitar.com*
