Cailyn: I played guitar intensely as a teenager in the blues/rock scene in London, England. I even played a gig at the famed Marquee Club. After returning to the US, I gigged with various cover bands, learned theory and wrote music, spent time learning bass, drums, and piano--and raised a family.
Four years ago, I returned to music full time and now play bass and lead guitar with the classic power-rock band IX Lives. I run a small recording studio where I produced my first release in 2008, a blues-classical crossover EP which received good reviews including a mention in Vintage Guitar Magazine. I finished producing a full length progressive rock CD in April 2009, recorded with Dani Daly, an outstanding female vocalist. I have just completed a makeover on New World in Blue which includes new vocals, drums and a full remix/remastering. I am particularly interested in reinterpreting classical compositions and classic rock songs in modern arrangements. My classical works can now be found on Cailyn Classical (see top friends)
Dani: Vocalist with Oil Can Harry. See her profile in my top friends.
I've done some recording lately. I finally finished the original tune I was writing for mandolin and put it up on my page about three weeks ago. Then today I decided to see how my recording equipment was working since I got new drivers installed and new RAM which I think will help the overall sound so I put up a blues jam again as a test recording. There are a few missed notes on there but I decided to put it up anyway. If I strive for perfection I'll lose the magic of the music and the moment and just get frustrated.
Hope you are playing a lot and that life is good for you!
Cailyn, It was an absolute honor to meet, jam and hear you perform in Hollywood. Thank you for your friendship. Love your music and style. Would be great to do it again soon. Please keep in touch Your friend, Dave
