Music Demos (Solo Acoustic)

Below are three solo acoustic demos. I play traditional blues, originals and covers of songs by Tom Waits, Dylan, The Stones and JJ Cale. There is a Soundcloud link to one song in each of those styles below.

Music Demos (Solo Electric)

Below is a demo for my cover of Hound Dog Taylor's version of "Just Can't Make It" and an original blues "Shake It Loose". I recorded both of these live, playing alone, using a Digitech Trio Band Creator pedal to add drum parts.

Among others, he has played with blues artists Big Boy Henry and Slewfoot and multi-instrumentalist, Tin Whiskers. For percussion on the acoustic songs he uses a suitcase kick drum.
