Dubbed the Jimi Hendrix of the Hammond Organ, Lachy Doley is the most celebrated Blues Soul Rock Organ Player in the world today. A player who can pump, pamper and occasionally pound the most unbelievable sounds from a keyboard: sounds that are intense, ferocious and sometimes transcendent.
Julia Driessen was born in Amsterdam in 1997. She grew up in a small village near Amsterdam where she met her first bandmembers. At the age of 14, Julia started to play piano in a local rock coverband: The Southern Locals. When they started to play songs of Deep Purple and Uriah Heep, Julia discovered the Hammond organ.
Southern feel, soul, rhythm and blues, country, rock & roll, greasy honky tonks; these things come to mind when thinking about Grammy and Emmy award winning keyboardist, Billy Earheart. He grew up in Tullahoma, Tennessee (an hour south of Nashville), and from there went to Muscle Shoals, Knoxville, Memphis, Nashville and currently in North Mississippi, playing with an impressive list of artists along the way.
"Ryan Monroe is best known as the multi-instrumentalist in Band of Horses. On his solo debut, the sideman emerges as a gifted songwriter and when you learn that he played every note from every instrument, it becomes clear that he's a brilliant musician with vast influences. First song "Doritoys" comes on big and fuzzy like a lost Black Keys track before the chorus throws us back to Ziggy Stardust territory, "Turning Over Leaves" is a smooth pop-rock nugget, the title cut is a full-blown '70 rock opera epic, "Blame The Daylight" has a Neil Young country-rock vibe and "Any Way, Shape Or Deformity" swings like ELO. That all of it fits together and none of it sounds anything like Band of Horses makes this all the more impressive."
In 1960, the year I was born in Maidstone, Kent, music was already a way of life in our household. My Mum, Dad and Uncle had their own group ‘The Cameos'. Apparently, as soon as I could walk I was taking an interest. By the age of 4, I was singing songs and being recorded in the Fletcher garage studio. The sight of that reel to reel tape machine whirring away in the garage is one of my first memories.
