Guitarist Pete McCann- 12.23.21
Paying for it on the other side…
I couldn’t have picked a better way to launch Season Two into its next atmospheric level, than to invite world-class guitarist Pete McCann as my first guest. After a fun, eye-opening, and ultimately inspiring Season One- asking top-tier bassists to record over my drum improvs- I’m now out to see what various musicians can come up with by adding a new layer of tracks over last season’s “duet mash-ups”. What happens when a third voice is thrown into the mix? Pete McCann already proves here that the inspiration can still flow freely- on his own terms, creating a whole other direction. Our discussion covers his interesting roots from Eau Claire, Wisconsin, to his time at North Texas State University, and finally to his move to NYC, where he’s been tearin’ it up as a top guitarist for more than 2 decades. And Pete really gets into how he approached each of these mini-trio creations, both technically and aesthetically. If you’ve been following “Big Noise” at all, I promise you’ll love the tech-talk, the art-talk, and Pete’s heartfelt take on where we’ve all been musically and emotionally these last few years. Welcome back!
