FORMER MEMBER OF VIRGOS MERLOT (ATLANTIC RECORDS) FORMER TOURING BASSIST OF COURSE OF NATURE (LAVA/ ATLANTIC) BioI have been playing /writing and recording for 16yrs non-stop in a number of different bands (Thred/ Virgos Merlot/ Virgos/ Downstem / Course of Nature) and on my own solo projects.My specialties would be in Pop or Heavy rock, but I would also be interested in doing anything musically ......... It just seems like there are not enough hours in the day for me sometimes, to finish all of the songs that I have either written or have not even recorded yet..... Then there's the ones that I have recorded and have not had time to tighten up and edit, which are the one's you hear now. Which I know need some work. I have a Roland 2480 ..24 track automated digital recorder and Protools LE system with a Macbook pro for editing.. I am mainly using Logic 8 Pro now...... introduced to me by my friend & talented musician Jonathan Crane in Orlando. I also have a bunch of Protools plug-ins to go with that. Plus I have every instrument I need, to be that all in one music machine that I love and strive to be.I love writing lyrics & melodies , as well as writing cool guitar riffs & bass lines.... I also write poetry on occasion which is usually for my beautiful & loving wife, who has been a great inspiration and a muse for my art, while also being a best friend, that I can trust with her helpful and constructive criticism. I have never been happier or loved anyone more than I do her and her two girls which I adore and love being a father to.With all the traveling that I've done, and the places that I have been,........ I always seem to make it back home to the state that I was born. The place that I will always call home........................... Birmingham, Alabama ! Roll Tide Roll! I am a southern boy with a broad mind and a loving heart, and a obsession for creating rock songs. While traveling all over this beautiful country(USA) and some of Canada, I got to play shows & tour with some great people in some awesome bands , like Creed, Nickelback, Finger Eleven, Sevendust, Jerry Cantrell, Tantric, Days of the New, Godsmack, Fuel, Buck Cherry, Big Wreck, Mayfield 4, just to name a bunch......I have made a ton of wonderful & one- of- a -kind friends along the way...... and to think that I probably might have never met any of them if I had not picked up a guitar, and quenched this thirst that I have always had for musical knowledge that still drives me to this day.....I know that it will constantly drive me through infinity and beyond................ Music is my passion, and I think the most positive event that has occurred in my lifetime besides meeting my loving wife. This fascination I have for music ; whether it be writing / playing / recording or just listening to it, {I DIG IT ALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!} ..... gives me an inner peace that can be easily accomplished, no matter what hectic situation that I might be involved in....... When I pick up my guitar and play and sing my songs this peace is easily acquired, as well as happiness covered in a feeling of self worth.I appreciate all of the musicians I have played with over the years, and owe something to each of them for the experience , and knowledge I gained.I also appreciate any interest people might have with me and my music by visiting my profile , and for any & all of the support given to me over the years......... in the several bands that I've been a part of. Please take care & continue to check out my progress in my new band I have created......The Status Go!!! .....etc...etc. Rock on my friends, Chris Dickerson / The Status Go! Â
