ABOUT
Guitarist for Rattlesnake Voodoo (band no longer active). 50s influenced Rock and Roll, Rockabilly, Rhythm and Blues and Country. I am a guitarist, playing for over 45 years. Style is a mix of 50s guitar music so that would include rock'n'roll, rockabilly, rhythm and blues, rockin' blues, and country - think of people like early Elvis, Gene Vincent, Patsy Cline, Wanda Jackson, T Bone Walker, Hubert Sumlin, Buzz Campbell and Hot Rod Lincoln, Stray Cats, Brian Setzer Orchestra and The Fabulous Thunderbirds (Jimmie Vaughan era) to name a few. I love playing 50s guitar music, whether it's rock and roll, blues, rockabilly, country or r&b (real r&b!!).
Looking for musicians into similar for gigs, recording, song writing etc.
Favourite guitarists, Jimmie Vaughan, Brian Setzer, Buzz Campbell, Kid Ramos, Cliff Gallup, Scotty Moore, Chuck Berry, Darrel Higham, Nick Curran, George, Paul and John, and Duane Eddie. I live in Frome.
