Down-Home Finland: The Trooper - Steve'n'Seagulls


Hello!

Happy New Year 2019!  I hope yours is off to a great start!

Lets begin the new year on this blog with a very cool video from our friends in the the North-Land.

: )

------------------------

A LONG time ago (in Internet standards) I saw a video of group of musicians using acoustic instruments to turn AC/DC's Thunderstruck into a down-home tour de force!

: )

In time—I'd more or less forgotten that—but recently found another video of theirs—that brought what they do roaring back to the forefront of my cranium.

Hailing from from Finland, and calling themselves Steve'n'Seagulls—the group uses mandolin, banjo, guitar, stand-up bass, and percussion—along with awesome harmonies—to turn heavy metal and hard rock into acoustic works of art.

Today's clip features their take on The Trooper by Iron Maiden—performed live.

Whether you are like me and never really  got into heavy metal—or you've been head-banging since the cradle—you'll likely enjoy this performance/song.

Either way—give it a spin—it'll cost you nuthin'!

: )





Thanks for stopping by!

See you again soon!





AMAZING Young Guitarist - Ben Lapps


It's pretty easy to throw around a few adjectives (something I'd never do on this blog! : ).

But I've just seen a truely amazing young guitarist...Ben Lapps perform Phunkified.


If you've ever tried to master the guitar, as I have, you know it takes many hours to improve.

To become good...it takes many, many more.

To become great it requires a ridiculous number of hours and lotza discipline!

To become phenomenal...FUH-GET ABOUT IT!

And Ben is phenominal!!

According to his facebook page Ben is a drummer too...and you can really hear that in his guitar playing.

Check out the video...and become a fan like I just did!
