About Me

As the lead singer of THE MARTINI SHAKERS I’ve spent the past 6 years bringing the golden oldies of yesterday to the good folks of B’ham.Now, I’d like to do some music for me---both songs that I’ve written and my favorite covers. Don’t worry--you’ll still hear whatever you want to (just write it on a $20 and slip it int he tip bucket). I’m just going to get a bit more----eclectic!!

My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 27/11/2007
Band Members: Just me!! Jory Lee---acoustic guitar, vocals, harmonica, humming when I forget the lyrics
Influences: Good GOD!! Chris Isaak is by far my favortie modern performer. I guess vocally he's number one. Songwriting---every band that has ever written a song I like: Depeche Mode, Type O Negative, Siouxsie, Rasputina, The Smiths, Lyle Lovett, Jr. Brown, Hank Sr, Buddy Holly, Johnny Cash, etc.... I just want to be fun and have fun. Whatever comes to mind, then I'll do it!!!
Sounds Like: Zombie cats mating on a red hot poker laced with sour cream and chives potato chips. Come to a show and you tell ME what I sound like (and it better not be a synonym for feces).
Record Label: Unsigned
