My Interests

Music:

Member Since: 11/6/2005
Band Website: myspace.com/garkmcvonier
Band Members: Just Me.
Influences: Warren Haynes, The Grateful Dead, Neil Young, Jamie Notorthomas, Jimi Hendrix (more in spirit than style).
Sounds Like: Hopefully no one. When I do covers, I try to keep the original spirit intact and then do my own version of it. There are some exceptions, as I can do a pretty good Johnny Cash and Scott Weiland. If I had to draw a comparison, I would say, vocally, I'm heavily influenced by Warren Haynes. But you won't mistake the two of us.
Record Label: Demo EP - Dave Brown Studios.
Type of Label: None

The end of the open mic (for now)

Live track up and running

Live from Cheap Seats track now on the page.  It wouldn't let me fit the song titles so it's Psycho-Killer first (Talking Heads) followed by Friends on the Shelf, an original.
