t

Music Style

The original music is a mix of rock n roll and haunting ballads

 

'You Gave Me The Blues'

This will be the title of my first album - the title track is a hard hitting ballad that hopefully brings out the best in my playing - sustained string bending solos that emerse you into the song and belies the fact that the song is 9 minutes long !!!

See the Album links page for more information on the 'You Gave Me The Blues' Album project.
