ABOUT

Blackleg Miner is a kickass original rock & roll band out of Baltimore, MD. We are concentrating on our own material, but we do play some tunes by artists like Aerosmith, Crack The Sky, Alice Cooper, Led Zeppelin, Black Stone Cherry, Michael Schenker, and Cheap Trick. It's industrial-strength rock & roll that your momma will smack you upside the head for listening to!

Influences

Whether you've been playing 6 months or 60 years, whether some armchair critic thinks you're great or thinks you suck, whether you've toured the world or have only toured your basement, whether you've sold 50 million records or none at all --- if you strap on your guitar and play the sonofabitch like you MEAN it, then you're an influence of mine. Some of the many pros whom I have admired include Pat Travers, Bernie Torme, Robin Trower, Tony Iommi, Billy Gibbons, Paul Kossoff, Gary Moore, Peter Green, Terje Rypdal, Jimmy Page, Frank Marino, Robbie Robb, Paul Chapman, Leslie West, Ted Nugent, Ali Farka Toure, Bill Nelson, Joe Perry, and Ronnie Montrose. Don't get me wrong, I can't play exactly like any of them.....I can only play like ME. For vocal influences, think Jimmy Dewar, Phil Mogg, Paul Rodgers, Rhett Forrester, and Robert Palmer.
