My Interests |

Music:Member Since: 3/23/2006Band Website: mikeneer.com Band Members: I'm currently playing with a number of great bands and musicians and there are a few great ones I hope to be playing with in the near future. Some of these include: Andrew Hall, Aaron Alexander, Greg Wall, Mike Kaplan, Pete McDonald, Matt King, Russ Meissner, Dave Richards, Mitch Schecter, Bill Malchow, Jack Grace, Daria Grace, Rob Henke, Ted Brancata, Skip Ward, Brian Glassman, Ben Williams and many more. Influences: I was raised on 1960s and 70s radio--AM and FM. I'm a walking encyclopedia of American Pop Music from the late 60s to the 80s. I've learned to embrace that side of me. Just ask my friends.... Many musicians have influenced me profoundly--some on the level of listener, others in trying to hone my craft, and some (the following) in both ways: Jelly Roll Morton, Fats Waller, Donny Hathaway, Curtis Mayfield, Dr. John, Marty Grosz, Bix Beiderbecke, Lester Young, Bill Frisell, Keith Richards, Jim Keltner, Steve Jordan, Louis Prima, Nat King Cole, Stevie Wonder, Chaka Khan, Keith Richards, Speedy West, Jimmy Bryant, Ronnie Wood, Rod Stewart (Faces), Django Reinhardt, Lonnie Johnson, Oscar Aleman, D'Angelo, Marvin Gaye, Sam Cooke, Buck Owens, George Jones, Wynn Stewart, Ralph Mooney, Vance Terry, Joaquin Murphey, Buddy Cage, George Van Eps, Eddie Lang, Andy Iona, Dick McIntire, Sol Hoopii, Wayne Shorter, Allan Holdsworth, Sly and the Family Stone, Charlie Parker, John Scofield, Chuck Berry, Jack Teagarden, Jimmie Vaughan, Snooks Eaglin, Warren Zevon, Joe Henry, Tom Waits, Ry Cooder, Randy Newman, David Bowie, Slade, Lynyrd Skynyrd, AC/DC, Phil Lynott, and many others whom you'll probably never be able to detect from my playing but, believe me, it's all in there somehow.... Sounds Like: An orgasm. Type of Label: Indie |
