Bio
I play with Daptone Recording artist, Naomi Shelton & The Gospel Queens. Summer shows include; Bonnaroo on Which Stage, and Winnepeg Folk opening for Jeff Tweedy. 2010 shows include the Monterey Jazz Fest, Pop Montreal, Vancouver Folk Fest, Calgary Folk Fest, Edmonton Folk Fest, Chicago's Millennium Park, the Apollo (opening for Sharon Jones), Bowery Ballroom. In 2009, we hit the Nokia (opening for Sharon Jones), Celebrate Brooklyn (opening for Burning Spear), tour of Europe, Ottawa Bluesfest. 2008; WNYC Soundcheck, the 2008 Brooklyn Academy of Music TakeOver, Southpaw, Mercury Lounge. I also play for the Fred Thomas Band. Fred is the bassist in Naomi's band and is known in his own right as the primary bass player for James Brown fro 1971 and on such recordings as "Hot Pants" "Make it Funky," "Pass The Peas," "Pappa Don't Take No Mess." Past gigs include the Allstarz James Brown Tribute feat. Charles Bradley, aka Black Velvet at the St. Lucia Jazz Festival 2009, Pierre Kingston at the Harlem International Film Fest Reception Benefit and at the New Leaf Café. -
Members
I play a customized Telecaster from Ritchie's Guitar Shop with a bigsby tremolo and both a Seymour Duncon mini-humbucker in the neck, and his Vintage Broadcaster single coil in bridge. I also play a Richie's semi-hollow body creation with p94s. I use a Rivera Chubster 40 Watt tube amp and prefer a clean sound. When using pedals, I go for the Keeley line for its transparency; the Fuzz/Overdrive, Java Boost, modded Bd-2, Ts-808, Tr-2. I also play bass with a killer Fender Squire Precision My own projects include solo finger-picking guitar, a blues trio, and what with Apple being so keen on the everyday hobbiest, I like to take live recordings and splice 'em to old cartoons. -
Influences
I like: Michael Pollan, David Brooks, Fareed Zakaria, Raymond Carver, wine, women, my hair long, good stories, playful language. And it always comes back to love for Jaco Pastorius (Birthday Concert, Live In New York series), Led Zeppelin, early King Crimson, Jethro Tull, the Meters, traditional music (of Appalachia, of Ghana, Mali, Zimbabwe, etc.), Glenn Gould's solo piano Bach renditions, Tom Waits The Early Years, Fela Kuti, and Oumou Sangare amongst many others. There's love for the Chess Records sound, especially the mystery-rhythm groove of Willie Dixon and the ECM sound found with Keith Jarrett, Jan Garbarek. -
Sounds Like
a wrung out sponge, I think.
