About
Blues and jazz inspired but genre fluid, pulling in R&B, classic rock, country and more.
With a mix of original music - including the EP 'Snapshot Blues' released in June 2019 - and classic blues, jazz and rock & roll, Neil performs throughout Calgary and area. His songs feature 'Cool Blues' and jazz-based singer/songwriter styles. Dave Brubeck, Jimi Hendrix and Bruce Cockburn are some of Neil's main influences. An entertaining and experienced performer, Neil combines impressive guitar playing with witty and touching lyrics born of a past life as a journalist. The range of music, depending on the venue and audience, ranges from classic jazz to down and dirty blues to contemporary acoustic guitar tunes. He has three CDs as well as many singles released for original tunes and also draws on classic blues and jazz tunes - as well as a bit of R&B and Rock & Roll. I do a range of instrumental music as well, including tunes from my instrumental CD September Winds and various jazz tunes. Typically performs solo but can bring drums and bass depending on the venue and budget.
