Meet Dominic Fragman, a multi-instrumentalist who sings, drums, and plays guitar… all at the same time.  He never has to worry about lining up schedules for his band to rehearse because he is his band.  The only problem is his roommates really hate him.

I had never heard of the Chapman Stick or the Stickman before I was goofing around on Indi.com where they host all kinds of musical challenges (with cash prizes!). If you're especially good or unique, you might check that out. Anyways, there was a contest going on for the best solo instrumentalist.  Usually these end … Continue reading Stickman Wins Contest With The Chapman Stick!

My guitar virtuoso brother is a big fan of Bluegrass.  He says that these guys are all shredders and could slay some technical metal or rock.  I guess that's probably true, but I respect them for different reasons.  I just like the sound of Appalachian bluegrass inspired by the old Irish and Celtic music.  To … Continue reading “Enter Sandman” Bluegrass Cover?
