Harpisti/kitaristi/laulaja Tomi
Leinon luotsaama yhtye edustaa maamme terävintä blueskärkeä. Ahkerasti
keikkaileva T.Leino Band on yksi harvoista tällä tyylisaralla päätoimisesti
vaikuttavista yhtyeistä. Kyseessä on tyylikäs, tiukasti yhteenhitsautunut
livebändi.
T.Leino Band julkaisi loppuvuodesta 2007 CD:n "Keep It Moving" amerikkalaisen
harpisti-laulajan Steve Guygerin Kanssa. Kesäkuussa 2009 Julkaistiin T. Leino Bandin "Dynamite Boogie" cd
Tomi, Have a great time tomorrow night with RJ. That should be a great show. Micu told me you'll be on drums..Your such a great guitar player, why not guitar? I'm sure you play great drums too.
I put a couple of tracks of the new LIVE cd I put out on William. I was not going to put this music out because of the quality, but it turned ok. Tell me what you think of the tunes.
Have a great time, Tomi... Love and respect to you Jeannette
You need to check out the new Victoria "Blowbox" Harp amp! I was instrumental in designing and getting into their line of top shelf amps. Go to youtube and search me "James Reeser" and there are a couple of recent vids featuring it.
It is a 45 watt 2X8 amp. It looks like a tweed head but yes it has 2 8" speakers in it. No one can believe such a fat rich tone comes from a little amp. It is versatile... light weight... It can be plugged into any speaker cab as it has 2, 4 and 8 ohm output taps. It also has a switch that makes it either a stock 59 Bassman if that is your tone (also for guitar if desired) or flip the switch for the harp special circuits and rich fat harp tone! And yes has plenty of power as a stand alone to keep up with just about any band.
Hello from Wyoming. I can't believe what great blues I have been hearing from the frozen north. Especially your blues. Wow! That is some great harmonica. Amazing! Blast on bluesman, blast on!!!!
