Influences
Mostly blues. Everything from classics like Son House, Leadbelly, Robert Johnson through all of the Chicago blues stuff including Elmore James and a lot of the musicians featured by Chess Records. I’m a massive Chuck Berry fan, shocker.
I also love straightforward rock and metal including everything from Zeppelin (again, no surprise) to Motörhead, to Danzig, to Tom Petty, Warren Zevon, James Gang.
More modern bands I enjoy range fromThe Killers to Queens of the Stone Age, Eagles of Death Metal, and others.
Obviously, my tastes are all over the map. What I lack in musicianship I make up from in discussing influences. I’d love to share more, so just ask!
