David Lindley performs music that redefines the word eclectic.
Multi-instrumentalist David Lindley performs music that redefines the word "eclectic." Lindley, well known for his many years as the featured accompanist with Jackson Browne, and leader of his own band El Rayo-X, has long championed the concept of world music. The David Lindley electro-acoustic performance effortlessly combines American folk, blues, and bluegrass traditions with elements from African, Arabic, Asian, Celtic, Malagasy, and Turkish musical sources. Lindley incorporates an incredible array of stringed instruments including but not limited to Kona and Weissenborn Hawaiian lap steel guitar, Turkish saz and chumbus, Middle Eastern oud, and Irish bouzouki. The eye-poppingly clad "Mr. Dave's" uncanny vocal mimicry and demented sense of humor make his onstage banter a highlight of the show ...

Miguel Mega:
My first interest in music was when I watched a Queen concert on TV in 1981 . I started to play acoustic guitar in 1983 when I was 13 very influenced by my stepfather , Edilberto Abrão , that plays in brazillian jazz bands .I play electric guitar since I was 15 and I´ve been trying to really understand what "music" really means since then. My first work in vinyl, was in 1992 with my band Last Joker. With Last Joker I recorded one album untitled "Last Joker" and performed big venues with the greatest names of the brazilian heavy metal such as, DR. SIN , ANGRA, SEPULTURA, R.D.P., KORZUS etc... By the end of 1994 LAST JOKER broke up and I went to Los Angeles to study music business, recording thecnics and my passion: THE GUITAR!. I lived in LA for 2 years and studied guitar with Joey Tafolla (solo artist) and Jean Mark Belkadi who lectures at LAMA (Los Angeles Music Academy)and at MI (GIT) Musicians Institute. I did some production and recording courses at the Music Box Studios in Hollywood, too. I came back to Brazil in ´97 and for the very first time in my life I wanted to record an instrumental and experimental free-form album. Untitled simply "Miguel Mega" and recorded on a 4 track (analog), it was my first experience and cd release . In 1999 I came up with my 2nd solo cd, untitled "intuitive". Recorded at my private studio and all produced by myself between july 98 and january 99, it presents a fusion of my favorite styles such as blues, rock, jazz, funk , brazillian jazz and country. In my opinion , "Intuitive" sounds much more composed than "Miguel Mega", which is great because it means that I grow up as a musician ...
