InfluencesAnything.
Sounds LikeIf you mixed Jack Bruce's improvisation with John Entwistle's structure, added in a pinch of Larry Graham, and spiced it up with Geezer Butler's dark riffs. Pour a spoonful of some of Eric Clapton's soulful blues and put a good helping of John Paul Jones' and Paul McCartney's melodies. Blend with James Jamerson and Jaco Pastorious for five minutes. Then stir well and occasionally add bits of Billy Sheehan's three-finger picking, Victor Wooten's thumb-plucking, and Les Claypool's strange slapping. Put in an oven of Indian music for fifteen minutes. Once baked to a pleasant golden-brown slice and serve on plates of Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, or Frank Sinatra.

   About Carson MacDonald


Carson MacDonald

Carson credits taking up the acoustic guitar at the age of nine as the start of his musical career. Four years later he began playing bass. Since then Carson has played in many bands and has broadened his instrumentation with the inclusion of the piano and his vocals.

With his first official band called "White Summer", Carson has played a multitude of shows some such as the fundraiser show for S.I.R.E.N.S. where they opened for Jack Semple and his band. White Summer also credits playing at the Alberta's Own Independent Music Festival at the Benalto Rodeo and Fairgrounds, and frequenting Edmonton Blues Society. White Summer also went into studio to record and they released an EP entitled "11:11". For more information, visit White Summer's Myspace page.

For the year of 2008, Carson has performed as a member of the Austin O'Brien High School Senior Jazz Band and Concert Ensemble. Both bands competed in the Orlando National Heritage Music Festival and recieved a level of Excellence Silver Medal, and a Superior Gold Medal standing respectively.

In addition to the Florida competitions, Carson and the Austin O'Brien bands also performed in Disney World's Magic Kingdom Park and partook in a recording workshop session at Disney Studios.

Carson's other contributing musical experiences include live pit band performances for Austin O'Brien's High School Musical play, a dramatic production at Grant MacEwan College, and for Spruce Grove Composite High School's musical production of "Grease". Live performances include playing at the Yardbird Suite, The Haven Social Club, The Urban Lounge, and many other bars and pubs around Edmonton.

Carson is now a student of the music program at Grant MacEwan College. Over the years the most influential and notible teachers Carson has studied under were the likes of Reg Taylor, George Koufogiannakis, and John Taylor.

He says, "Music is my passion, the blues is my soul, and the bass is my life." Carson's goal is to compose, record, and play music for the rest of his life.
