About Me

I'm a singer/musician/writer. I play acoustic and slide guitar and piano ,and my music is very Blues oriented. I love the old guys like Robert Johnson, Muddy Waters, and Elmore James, and also Soul singers like Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, and Otis Redding. I also love some of the less well-known bands from the 60's, and some modern Rock (very little). What can I say? They just don't do it like they used to...You can check out some of my stuff at www.soundclick.com/chrisnightbird
