The Band: Just me for right now and it is called Big Sky Blues Band.  I have a spot on MySpace at http://myspace.com/bigskybluesband and I also have spots on Sound Click and Our Stage.

Equipment: Guitars- Oscar Schmidt Delta King for most of my lead work and heavy rhythm.  I have four all together.  A Takamine EG260C Dreadnought Cutaway Acoustic-Electric Guitar, Washburn Anarchy X16, Washburn Dreadnought Acoustic, Fender Telecaster and the Delta King, Keyboards - M-Audio Axiom 61, Vocals my own, Synthesizers and every other musical instrument that works in shaping sound to paint an emotional audio picture.  I built my 64bit Dual Core Digital Audio Workstation and I use an EMU-1212m PCI Audio Card with a Behringer ADA8000 for my input/output to my Sequencer Software.  I use a Behringer VAMP 2 effects box with my guitars. For acoustic guitar and vocals I use a MXL 2003 Condenser Microphone pushed through a Beri Eurorack UB1202 and then through a Lexicon MX200 Dual Reverb Effects Processor. I just got a Line 6 Spider Jam Guitar Amplifier and it is way cool for the creativity.

Influences: There are a lot of influences in my music.  For the composition part I feel that Brahms, Mozart and Debussy are responsible for making me write my Classical stuff.  Pink Floyd, Robin Trower, Alan Parsons, AC/DC, Ozzie, Tommy Bolin and ZZ Top for my Rock stuff.  Folky stuff probably Jimmy Buffet and David Crosby.
