Band MembersGary "gman" Wesselhoff, Acoustic and Electric Guitars, Bass, Drums, Blues Harp and Vocals.

Occasionally David Keeney (from Scottland) sits in with me on Bass, and my son Andrew sits in on drums. I can usually draw a few folks out of the audience and up on stage to embarass themselves too!

Carla is my support team, she does it all. If you are interested in becoming part of the gman Blues Street team, contact Carla at: www.gmanblues.com and leave her a note.


InfluencesI would love to be connected with people who are fans of Smashing Pumpkins, Bruce Springstein, Bob Dylan, John Lee Hooker, John Hammond, Tom Petty, and of course, The Beatles.
Sounds LikeWell I have the classic rock thing going, but I do the music my way--same song, same feel, just a little different point of veiw. And I've got the growling blues thing going. People love my harp playing. That's good--that's very good for me 'cause I love wailing on it.

My show is three hours of Acoustic Rock and Blues, featuring a combination of fresh originals and exciting new arrangements of essential classic rock favorites.

That kind of stuff--it's all good now.

"g-man Blues" is Gary Wesselhoff, a solo acoustic rocker with a genuine dedication to showing his audience a good time!

Hailing from the Chicago suburbs, he began his musical career in the seventies during rock music's classic era. Inside the Chicago rock scene, he hooked up with some "playa's" and began playing under the name Woodlind. Woodlind wrote and performed their own material exclusivelyone point boasting a song list of over seventy-five original songs.

G-man and Woodlind recorded an album of songs at Chicagolands famous "Pumpkin Recording Studio" with renown producer Gary Loizzo (known for his production of several Styx albums). Over the years the band members eventually drifted apart.

In college g-man met and began playing with two outstanding performers, Bob May, and Ken Zemanek. The three began playing once again under the name of Woodlind. The band grew in size and following. Once again however, the band went separate directions. In the interim, g-man dropped out of the business to raise a family.

In 2003 g-man sat in with some friends and immediately decided to return to music. Quotes g-man

"When I returned, I discovered something forceful about myself; I found that I had new abilities that were not present when I was a kidits much more than the synergy of practice and focus. I discovered that I could sing more dynamically, play more powerfully, and write better than ever".

He began to chase the blues, and worked a blues harp into his act.

In 2005 he launched his Website: http://www.gmanblues.com . gmanblues.com is a successful Website often with hits from countries around the world. Its at this site that you can sample some of g-mans music offerings, and see photos of him in action.

In 2006 g-man was a top qualifier in the Acoustic Solo category of Suburban Nitelifes Readers Poll finishing third in the extremely competitive Chicago Suburban Club scene. g-man currently is traveling to Chicagoland venues, playing for audiences large and small at music festivals, folk clubs, and concert halls building his fan base and his brand identity. .

g-man Blues is hard to categorize. He is a link between the traditional Chicagoland Blues and Adult Contemporary Rock a singer-songwriter living down the reputation of a rocker. g-man isn't concerned about how everyone labels his style, he would he would rather just play. That is his gift.

As for his old band members in Woodlind, he bumps into them on the road from time to time. Ken plays American English; Scott Bonshire joined Heartsfield, Jim Williams hooked up with a country band called Crossfyre. and Joey Drada currently plays with contemporary Chicago Blues Royalty--a band called The Jaywalkers.

Hey just wanted to stop by and say Hi and to thank you for being a friend here in "Space".

Thank you for adding me. If you find time please check out my website SonicJive. com - it is a social networking site dedicated to indie music and fans of indie music.

When we launch our radio in January, members will earn royalties for airplay through our affiliation with Live365. com and we will be sharing ad revenues with musicians who create profiles and post music.

I also write 5 CD Reviews EVERY WEEK. If you are interested in reading them or being reviewed, please see my MySpace blog.

Have a great week, and thank you for the honor of allowing SonicJive to be your fan here on MySpace. And if you don't want to play with us, I hope you will stop by and listen.

Regards,
Mike from SonicJive. com

Please help the Toys For Tots this Holiday Season.

Does MySpace let you advertise run of the site? Of course they do if you can shell out $100/k month.

At www. SonicJive. com we will post your banner ad (if you are a member) for $10/month. Non-members can post a banner for $30/month. It will rotate throughout the site and you can have it link back to your website, your mySpace profile, your SonicJive profile or wherever you sell your goods and services. Through the end of November - proceeds from ad sales go to Toys For Tots.

As a member - you get other benefits such as CD Reviews, opportunity to post free downloads, and to be a featured member of the week.
PLUS - WE PAY ROYALTIES FOR AIRPLAY & WILL BE SHARING REVENUES FOR PROFILE HITS!

Oh - we don't block your links, or warn members not to leave our website. How the hell would you make any money if I did that? I approve all banners before they are posted so you can be assured they link EXACTLY where you want them to and so that members need not worry.

We are asking our MySpace friends one time to take advantage of this special rate and this is it. The rate remains locked for as long as you keep advertising on SonicJive.

For more information contact me at mikecanter@sonicjive.com

PS - I do not mean to intrude or "use" my MySpace friends for shameless self-promotion, so if you delete this comment or refuse to post it I understand completely and will not be offended. This is a marketing site and I am simply trying to reach the masses.
