ok--this site is mine: Paul Epstein, so just me, BUT -- I am in a band also -- the Contrarians. Here's our website: http://pages.suddenlink.net/contrarians..
Influences
SOoooo many! From centuries old Celtic and Applachian through 20's blues and swing, early country, 60's rock 'n roll, contradancing, and anything I might hear that I fall in love with.
Sounds Like
Well, there's me singing and writing songs, and then there's me fiddling. When I sing I sound like me, I'm not trying to sound like anyone else. But here are some people others have compared me to (sometimes favorably):
Neil Young,
Paul Simon,
John Prine,
John Gorka,
Elvis (only when I really want to),
James Taylor,
The Band,
My idols in the fiddle world are Liz Carrol, Kevin Burke (and any great celtic fiddler), Stephane Grapelli, Darol Anger (and any great swing fiddler), J.P. Fraley, Melvin Wine (and any great old-time fiddler); get the picture?
CountryHome Forum have more than 5,000 members. Each news you submit to CountryHome Forum will released to my weekly Newsletter with more than 50,000 readers.
Please submit your artist news and events to CountryHome Forum to help your artists to get well known better in Europe. If you do not have the time to submit your artist news and events by yourself, please send it me to: Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de and I will submit them by myself to CountryHome Forum.
I know that many artists from North America don't have their music videos uploaded to German video websites. The most popular websites are MyVideo.de and ClipFish.de. That means your European audience does not have the chance to find them.
I understand that most of you don't speak German and are not able to upload videos because of the language barrier. If you would like me to upload your videos to the German video websites, please let me know.
Thanks
