Artist
Gary Eisenbraun is a guitarist from St Petersburg, Florida. He plays guitar-driven, soul and blues based rock 'n roll music. What is SOUL MUSIC? So many musicians have tried to answer this. We all KNOW the answer, it's articulating it - that's the problem. So many answers to one simple question. Here's one I like: "A musician has soul when he plays music because he is compelled to, rather than chooses to. Music has soul when it reminds listeners that they have one by stirring something within them, touching them somewhere deeper than their head. Music with soul doesn't just entertain - it speaks. And it doesn't just speak. It has something to say. ... There is no wall between the artist and the art; everything he has goes into his music." (Alan Paul, intro to Gregg Allman "One more try: an anthology"). Why am I talking about soul on a rock and roll website? Because my music is deeply steeped in the styles of the Delta blues, Motown and Memphis soul, mixed in with old-fashioned classic rock & roll. ARTIST NOTE: Today's music scene tends to put musicians in little boxes that are easy to market. I don't care to endorse that sort of limitation on creativity and that's where the indie label moniker comes into being. What is "Indie music"? Artists making music that is outside of the box and hard to label (pun intended). My music isn't pure blues, or just rock & roll or just soul or just...anything but mine. Words that apply to my music? Guitar-driven, blues influenced, soulFULL
