Debut Album "ginger tunes" ReleaseHaving thought about doing this for several years, and featuring on countless albums by other people, I have finally decided to take the plunge. Inspired by a recent journey through Africa and generally by having a quarter life crisis, I started writing late in 2008. Really what I wanted to achieve more than anything else was a document of where I am both musically and personally.
The Muffin Men
I am very proud to be associated with the Muffin Men, Europes premier Zappa band whom I have been touring with internationally since 2004. Stay tuned for dates and future releases.
Weddings Georgia Summertime | Hey! I'm Mike, twenty something, musically promiscuous and unfortunately, yes I'm Ginger. I play Saxophones, Flute and Keyboards, specialising in all things groovy! Having started
to play at the age of 12 so that I could escape Maths lessons on a
Tuesday, I Graduated from LIPA in 2005 with a first class honors
degree. It was then that I went on to tour the planet with hundreds of
different acts, teaching woodwinds on my days off. Currently, I'm working as a session musician, playing keys and saxophones for a multitude of bands and artists. So far I've worked with Steve Winwood, Sandy Thom, Ian Paice (deep purple) Craig David and Kid Creole to name a few I'm enjoying recording and touring with the various projects including my original Project "Ginger Tunes" www.myspace.com/mikesmithsaxophonist  The result has been quite an eclectic one, featuring the talents of Jay Irving on drums and JJ Rio on electric bass augmented with guest musicians from every genre, and myself on keyboards and saxophones. The album "Ginger Tunes" has been released on iTunes, Amazon Digital, Napster and other digital shops-You can select from the shops linked on the player above. |
