   Uncle John Sawbriar: General Info
Member Since3/26/2005
Band MembersHow many selves can one have? It depends on what what I'm playing, I suppose...
InfluencesJohn Fahey, Leo Kottke, Peter Lang, Jimmy Page, Jerry Garcia, Chet Atkins, Michael Hedges, Steve Howe, Steve Morse, Ian Anderson, Pete Townsend, David Gilmour, and Eric Johnson have all likely had some influence on my own style of playing and composing. I'm sure there's more, but I believe that covers the majority of those who've had the most impact on my music.
Sounds LikeMy music is most often compared to that of Leo Kottke, John Fahey or Michael Hedges.

Solo fingerstyle steel-string acoustic guitarist / composer. I play a variety of styles, ranging from intricate appalachian or celtic influenced pieces, to alternative sounding things that would be difficult to label.

I am looking for help (venues, booking agents, bands/acts to do shows with) to set up a tour, this coming October and November 2008. I plan to start with the west coast of the U.S. Los Angeles, San Francisco, Portland, Seattle, then into Canada; Vancouver, Calgary, Winnipeg, then back to the U.S. to Duluth (have to see where Bob came from, I played Greenwich Village December 2007, so the journey continues…), then through North and South Dakota, Nebraska, Oklahoma, over to nashville, then into Texas and back to Dallas where I lived and played 21 years ago, and of course Austin, then through New Mexico and Arizona back to L.A. to fly back home to Melbourne.
Waiting to hear from you 

Yo Uncle John!

It's been ages. How's it going??

I am almost done my record. We did second round mixes for all but one song this past week.

I also just added a few live songs from 2005 to my page.

Hope all is well.
