one guy plays the bass drum with one foot tied behind his back (jk) the other is a tamborine player by the name of lefty, the drummer is called mr. goodfoot. banjolismo mysteriosos is the the banjo player's name and I am witch doctor leopold on the microphone jazz jam. I do a one man band thing, it's funky, I like hip(py) hop & abstract swamp rock with striped socks & glammy glitter. I like the gobbelin style, harlequin patchwork, mixed with various bits of this & that. I am good at what I do and ready to prove it, so make me an offer.
I'm looking for gigs & I'm not too picky;
I will play your birthday, barbecue, wedding, theme party or open up for your band, burlesque, cabaret, vaudeville variety circus show and get your crowd ready to rock, roll, cut loose & have a blast. bona fide! I can play a 30-45 minute set or longer or shorter/multiple sets/themes. to book me just follow the email link at my site & send your proposal to http://www.1manbanjo.com
It's just me, my banjo, kick drum, and a tamborine. I've been working on this shtick for over 11 years, and I ain't stopping any time soon. I have several full length c.d.s available and will be making my way around the bay area as well as planning tours to the surrounding areas. If you like this, check out my other band the Hobo Gobbelins www.hobogoblins.com , for a boot stompin hootenany good time!!! .

****************************************************************
SOUND REQUIREMENTS (please read for booking): vocal mic w/ stand, direct line in for banjo, mic for bass drum kick, mic for tamborine.
I can also do a straight accoustic set, however, you may not be able to hear the vocals as well, especially in larger areas or outside events wher many subtle nuances may be lost.

set length is flexable (30-45minutes=no problem), a great opening act, only needs about 5-10 minutes to set up/sound check. if info about the event is available, I like to tailor my sets to match the venue.
****************************************************************
I play swamp glam, hoodoo blues, banjo funk, old timey tunes, gobbelin music, bittersweet & 4 dimensional romantic numbers, pirate & drinking songs, hobo & trainriding traditionals, excerpts from the cheshire rock opera, selections from our current collective of songwriters (see hobo gobbelins, sour mash hug band, chainz, accordion plague, ect.), and what I call the harlequin theory and the patchwork of songs which is it's legacy.

Please let me introduce about my new track, "Visions in the Sky".
・・・・・・・・・・
・This track freely changes the tempo, like BPM 170 → 40 → 190 → (stacks 2 or 4) → 170 → 40.
・The main melody(4/4 rythum) is like classic music's one, but the low part(3/4 rythum) is like jazz-pop's one.
・In the latter half, this track becomes spacy, like 80's progressive hard rock・・・but I only used a piano sound. It will show you what are "visions". Raindrops, comets, clouds・・・Every image will be right.
Aloha! Please check out our new "Vampire Bankers" comic music video. The guy who directed Madonna's first music vid was our director, too. Hope you like it!
My newborn daughter loves "Thee Spawn ov Hokus..." -- she's listening to it, right now... I think the deep voices calm her...
I put it on repeat one night and danced her to sleep... then left the music in her crib... Nothing else was working! -- but she slept for a few hours after that!
Please let me take your spaces
・・・I made a new track called "A Order in Ripples".
・Finally this track reachs "Chopin meets Hard Rock", with only piano & drums.
・I used 3/4 time & 7/8 time besides 4/4 time in this track, but I tried not to be a show-off man
・・・so maybe you don't notice.
・This track starts with 170 BPM, but it slowly accelerates & finally it reachs over 220 BPM.
・This track contains two exact oppsites・・・one is very complicated but another is very simple.
・This track is very short, only 2.07 minutes.
・The name of this track briefly means its characteristic. At the end of this track, the order comes out. What's "A Order in Ripples"? You will easilly find the answer.
Maybe it rouses Bashou's famous Haiku, "Fulu-ike ya (古池や) …".
