SPOT... himself

Occasionally, I play some festivals and other shows in a duo with bohdran/percussionist Albert Alfonso (we have a page at www.myspace.com/spotalbert). We've done two tours ('07 & '08) thru the eastern states.

In the past I've had some electric trios (with a bassist and a drummer) together. Two of these were *Spot Removal* and *DeLorean Mechanics.* Aside from live shows, we recorded albums which were never released. It seems both combos dissolved right at the recording stage leaving me to carry on alone. Hopefully another band situation will materialize soon.

Influences

Far too many late, late nights in the midst of life's persistent questions? It was late night radio back in the days before fm rock that got me listening to the wonderous and unfamiliar.

Life is too short and too complex to start categorizing music and putting those experiences in boxes. Suffice to say, my favorite music is and always has been anything I've never heard before.

   About SPOT
.. ..

I AM PRIMARILY A SOLO WARRIOR THESE DAYS.
Over the years I've had bands, been in bands, played with other musicians, etc. But when it comes to really getting something done musically, it seems lately I've had to go it alone. Main instruments played are guitar (acoustic & electric) and tenor banjo. Other instruments include mandolin, bouzouki, fiddle, fiddola, bass, bamdo, cittern, drums, percussion, clarinets and other reeds (tho my reed chops are kinda rusty these days). So let's say I'm a multi-instrumentalist/composer/writer/solo performer/sideman.

Insofar as styles..... acoustic/jazz/rock were the closest boxes to get the idea across. I started out on acoustic instruments (this was eons ago), then roared into the electric kingdom (again, eons ago) to be the proverbial rock & roll baby who grew up with a jazz sensibility. Eventually there was the punk rock muck (yeah, go figure) and, when I unmired myself from that, there was the traditional Irish & Celtic muck to trudge through (yeah, keep figuring) and, now that I've mostly emerged from that paisley bog, there is now "the muck that cannot be named!" And thus, I am so mired (ok, figuring won't help you now)!

Ahh, Muck! The choice of a blue generation!

Boxes? No boxes. For more enlightenment please go to www.spotbooking.com for all bio, schedule, etc. information.


And by the way... sometimes it's difficult for me to log in to myspace on a consistent basis. Quite often, I'm lucky if I can get here once a week. So for those who post comments, messages & friend requests, PLEASE BE PATIENT! OK?

THANKS FOR THE FRIENDSHIP. PLS CHECK ME OUT ON iTunes OR www.cdbaby.com/all/swriter61. By the way, if you go to cdbaby to download either one of my cd's, "PART OF THE PACKAGE" or "I'M SO FUNNY, IT HURTS", then you will be able to do so for just a buck each album. Think about it. Where else can you get 26 songs for a total of just $2.00? Check it out and when you do, pls forward it to your friends. You won't regret making my music a part of your collection. I promise.
