Sounds Like
What one would think a smozywray should sound like.
My name is Dean Berry and I grew up in Barboursville WV. I studied music at Marshall University. I now live in Richmond VA where I belong to a band named The B-side Electric Blues Band. Check out our MySpace page www.myspacemusic.com/b-sideelectricband. I also play in the power trio Dawg Mama, www.myspacemusic.com/dawgmama. The songs on this site were from a band called SNAFU. We were together for 8 years and shared the stage with acts such as The Marshall Tucker Band, The Nighthawks, and Kenny Wayne Sheppard. Our show was a Stevie Ray Vaughan meets Ted Nugent sort of blend.
After SNAFU I moved on to Sin City Revival, a 7-piece Southern Rock Band that had a sound influenced by The Rolling Stones, The Black Crowes, and The Allman Brothers. We had the priveledge of playing with Southern Rock greats, Molly Hatchett.
These recordings are about 8 years old and are really 'rough drafts' but I just wanted to put them out there so people could check them out. I'm especially proud of these tunes though the recordings just do not do the songs justice. Unfortunately Snafu is gone but these songs remain. Hope you dig.
Hi Dean,I thankyou so much for your friendship,I like your sound,all the best to you all,Keep in touch,Maybe you guys would like to sign my guest book,Keep in touch,GARY
Hi Dean, thank you for the friendship and taking the time to stop by, I greatly appreciate it! I checked out your page and also your B Side Electric band, sounds great!
Thanks man! Almanac. I dug Your clean Teletype sound too. Yep. The sax player is also really something, sounding like overblowing baritone. C-melody? If it..s tenor???
