Who has kids that are in a band or have been?
My son was majorly into playing in a band and recording music. He spent a lot of money (with help from dad) on equipment and recording fees. They recorded a full length cd and had an album release show. Then covid hit. All of the venues shut down. During that time, the drummer got married, the lead singer lost interest, and one member passed away from a fluke accident. My son plays lead guitar.
It was a fun time. Going to shows, etc. I figured the chances of them making it big were a long shot, but gotta try.
Anyone have stories to share?
They recorded a few low budget videos. Below is one of them. Recorded in their basement. Garrett said he was soaked in beer by the end of the video. Lol.

My son doesn't like to listen to his cd. Doesn't like to talk about it. He put so much time and effort into it without much success. I really like their music. The entire cd is on YouTube. Maybe Amazon and Spotify. Sons of Stereo - Truth and Other Lies. They went for a unique sound. They wrote and recorded all of their songs. During that time, he got me interested in collecting guitars as an investment. I got a little carried away and now I have a bunch of them. Lol. |
@cleeds I guess I should have checked there since I use Qobuz. 🙂 |
@bolong That's what has happened here. I got my son a job doing what I do and there's no free time. Plus, he has two kids now. I suspect that he'll try to do something when the kids are out of the house. He played in another band that did covers of classic rock, country, etc. He was in his 20s and the other guys were old farts. He had fun with it and improved his playing skills because they covered so many different types of music. He also played in a band that covered 90s rock. He got pretty good on the guitar. |
