GEDDAY BOYS & GIRLS,WELCOME TO MY WORLD. I PERFORM AS A ONE-MAN BAND, PLAYING VARIOUS STRINGED INSTRUMENTS & A FOOT DRUM KIT CONSISTING OF A 14" TOM MODIFIED INTO A KICK DRUM & A FOOT-SHAPED RATTLE CALLED "LEFTY". MY INFLUENCES ARE VARIED FROM THE OLDTIME ROOTS OF BLUES TO TOM WAITS, CHRIS WHITLEY & JUST ABOUT ANYONE WHO SINGS LIKE THEY'VE EATEN GRAVEL OR PLAYS SLIDE GUITAR WITH SOUL.
