THIS TIME
THE
TOM BRAGGINS TRIO |
Hello Acoustic Clubbers What a start to the New Year! This week we are delighted to welcome back to the Acoustic
Club the fantastic Tom Braggins Band for a much anticipated Hour Long
Showcase. |
|
Over
the years we have seen Tom Braggins Trio develop into one of the most
respected group of players around. The trio has continued that excellence and
has built a solid base of enthusiastic supporters. To
understand how the Trio has developed such a brilliant sound, you have to break
the whole into the four separate parts that make up the trio and then
consider the complete ensemble. Tom
brings two strings to the Trio’s bow. He is an inventive and talented
songwriter who sings with an abandon and freedom that is rare. His guitar
playing is part of the musical compliment of his songs. Although he is a
player who can double track with a bass, in this trio he remains concentrated
on his R&B/soul/jazz/rock fusion superb guitar playing. Chris
Eldred is one of those fantastically gifted musicians who manages to
play traditional keyboards with one hand and doubles as a bassist with a
separate keyboard with the other. Note to first timers, when you hear a bass
solo look to Chris’s left hand! Phil
Haines is a drummer who rarely gets the recognition he deserves as
with all bands, invariably it is the drummer who keeps the band together as
Chris and Tom soar away into musical stratosphere. The
three guys have known each other since school and it is clear from their
demeanour they are much more than just band mates, they are life-long friends.
Such is the understanding between them they produce a unique performance that
will not only captivate with the brilliance of the musicianship but leave you
demanding more. |
