More About The Big E

A Brit by birth from the North West of England, I've lived with my family in the USA for over twenty years now. I've played piano badly all my life, tried the band thing a few years ago but too much commitment so I took to busking. I mostly play farmer's markets because I am amplified and most public places in the US seem averse to any form of amplification or power usage even though I do keep it very quiet because I understand that I am background music.
I've been doing the busking thing for a couple of years now and I really enjoy it but I'm taking a break this summer because summers get busy and summers get HOT!
Since I'm in my 60's now (where do the years go) I grew up with what today you'd call 'oldies' but I was around when most of them came out the first time!

My little act is me, a keytar, a loop pedal and a drum pedal. I play a few open mics as well from time to time. I seem to do OK even though my singing is less than optimal LOL!,
Fun Stuff about the Artist

My Instrument

I got fed up a lugging a heavy keyboard around and being at the back of wherever we were performing so I switched to a 'keytar'. I use a Roland Lucina because it has built in sounds and feed them through a small effects unit to add a bit of color as you cannot edit the sounds in the Lucina.
Now I get to stand up and play which is far more satisfying for me and gives a better stage (if you can call a spot under a canopy at a Farmer's market a stage) presence.
