From Edmonton, Alberta in Canada
Hold onto your white sport coat. If you want to hear live 50s and 60s music at your wedding or dance (some of the best love songs ever!), you've come to the right place! You will definately love the huge 7 channels of sound coming out of my Black Box Band. Computers provide some of the backup tracks and a Hammond B3/Grand Piano/Saxophone/Guitar black box created and played by Brian Dee (that's me) provides the rest. Vocals are processed through vintage-sounds computer software or can be routed through an awesome TC Helicon Voice Works which provides up to four amazing background voices that harmonize with my own voice, live!! The job of playing realistic horn sounds is only possible thanks to a Yamaha breath controller attached to a VL70-m sound module with a chip customized by Patchman. Only with computers and bundles of leading edge software could the sounds of the 50s and 60s be recreated so accurately and with the same great sounds as a five or six piece band. You won't believe your ears when
you have the chance to hear my computerized musical assembly, all wrapped up in a big black box. I perform my best impressions of songs by Elvis, the Beatles, Jerry Lee Lewis, Dave Clark Five, Pat Boone, Gene Pitney, Ray Charles, the Bee Gees, Jack Scott, Dion, Lloyd Price, Ronnie Hawkins, the Duprees and Ricky Nelson. I include a few newer songs though from Harry Connick Jr, Elton John, Michael Bublé, Chris Isaak, Colin James and Robert Palmer because I believe they go well with my 50s 60s songs. Hope you agree.
