I don't care HOW good your musicianship is, if you dont have a vocalist that can project, perform, mimic other artists and take charge of the front and the audience... then your SOUND is going to suffer. A lot of groups are lacking in the vocal dept. I can take care of THAT. If you are considering a change in the vocals dept... I'm your guy. Not only can I ACE the beatles, doors, stones, elvis, cream, bee gees, bowie, and a whole mess of others... but i can do blues, jazz, country, reggae... you name it. Not only can i sound like the original artists, I have developed my OWN sound, so that I sound like ME! I also have written many originals too.

Influences

Beatles, Doors, Traffic, Stones, Bowie, Bee Gees(early), Donovan, Bill Samsel has developed his own, unique vocal style and sound and his songwriting abilities are profound and span many genres. His recent CD entitled "Renegade" on the Brimstone Records label is a mix of jazz, blues, reggae and rock with deep, contemporarily relevant lyrics. Thus, he has been attacked, not for the musical composition of the CD, but because his lyrics are too "contraversial".
