Guitar built by Lawrence Nyberg and played on the new album, MAT IV
In the past year, four musicians came together with a love for electric music and blues/funk grooves and a new band was immediately formed. The band features, Marc Atkinson on electric guitar, Bill Hick's "dream drummer" on kit, Joey Smith on electric bass and Chad Geekie on keys.
This group plans to record their first CD of original music this fall.
Here's a sample track called 'Sure Feels Fine'
See if the Electric Project is playing soon: current performances.
From the beautiful West Coast of Canada comes this extraordinary quintet, renowned among folk music fans of all ages for their instrumental virtuosity, lush vocal arrangements, exuberant live performances, evocative songwriting, and refreshingly innovative interpretations of traditional tunes from around the globe.
The Bills currently have three CDs out and available through www.thebills.ca
It's a truly fun band of acoustic world music where I have a chance to focus primarily on playing the mandolin.
See if the Bills are playing soon: current performances.
Come study with Marc Atkinson and learn composition, techniques, improvisation, and more.
