So I might be getting signed!

Post by rocknroll93 »

hey all!
last night I was on the phone to australias biggest blues record label - Black Market Music. He told me to call him, I didnt have to pester him. (this isnt just an employee, this was the producer himself, a man named John Durr). he told me he loved my playing and singing, but he didnt like the band as much. I told him ill get a newer clip of my other guitarist but I have to agree with him about my drummer and bassist. He told me straight out that he wanted to record me, so im looking forwards to our next phone call..

“Australia’s most successful blues record label” - music journalist Christie Eliezer, February 2002

thats what is being said about the label.
their website if you want to check out some artists is www.blackmarketmusic.com.au

here is the video he watched.

let me know what you think

it is a cover, so its on youtube, not embedded here...
(me, john bacon on slide and vocals
danny Nolan on 2nd guitar
Russ chambers on bass
"the gov" on drums)

Congratulations! Hopefully if I ever make it again down in Australia (Went there for a month last Jan.), I will come and see you play, if you and your band do any concerts. I will try and buy some of your CD's if they hit iTunes..
