Bio / Background
George Van Eps, a distant cousin of mine, invented the seven string guitar in 1938. That was the year he commissioned Epi Stathopoulo, president of the Epiphone guitar company, to build him his first seven string axe. George called it a lap piano and the seventh string allowed him to play bass lines and chords simultaneously. He was a great guitarist and I'm sorry I never got to meet him before he died in 1998.
One of my earliest memories is of my mother playing "Tan Shoes and Pink Shoelaces" on the piano. It was a goofy little song, the exact type a child would like. As soon as I was big enough, I fiddled with that same piano. But Mozart, I was not.
Autumn 1986, my first month in college, I bought a beautiful Vantage bass guitar from a fellow student who was down on his luck and needed fast money. It was a woodie and the neck went straight through the body. The following year, me and a couple buddies rented a house in Utica, NY.
↓ more ↓I went up to the attic of this Brinckerhoff Ave. house and discovered to my surprise the neck of a guitar. I took the neck down to my room and I affixed little stickers to the fretboard that told me what note would play if I fretted a string there. I read in a magazine that Paul Simonon of The Clash learned how to play bass that way and it seemed to work for a 6 string.
By 1999, I'd written and recorded some new material for my second official release, Cruel & Unusual. In 2002, I finished my third record, Where I Am.
In 2003, I hooked up with Mike Sweeney to form Jack Rubys Alibi.
Solo-wise, I'm putting together another record in what I hope is my finest effort. I may not be able to play guitar like my cousin George but I enjoy creating songs and hopefully someone out there will like it too.
My influences are Frank Black, Ween, Frank Zappa, Foo Fighters, Big Audio Dynamite, Public Image Limited, The Clash, and Elvis Costello. Give it a listen; I'm sure there's something you'll like about it.
