CHRIS "TWEAK MASTER" BLOOMER

!!BLOOMY LIKE BLING!!

Say "WHAZZ UP"?!?!? to Chris Bloomer (you'll normally have to say hey to him.... he's the shy one). Chris holds the responsibilities of Guitar, Backing Vocals, and toys.... also his specialty, COFFEE. We consider Chris our "voice of reason".... if we need "politically correct" letters, or emails, he's usually the one to do it.

Chris's musical influences run the gamut from rock, country, and blues to jazz, and classical. The bands who shaped his tastes are The Grateful Dead (we're not sure if he remembers the shows.... but he sure did go to an awful lot of them.....), Phish, VanHalen, Queen, Dire Straits, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. Influential players would include Eric Johnson, Eddie VanHalen, Larry Carlton, Robben Ford, Jimi Hendrix, Jeff Beck, Danny Gatton, and Trey Anastasio.

Equipment Used: 
Guitars: Fender Strats, Brian Moore i1, Taylor Acoustics 
Amps: Fender Deluxe Reverb, TopHat Club Royale, Fender Bassman, Rivera M-55 112 
Pedals (here's where the toys part comes in): Too numerous to list.... but some of the favorites are Fulltone Fulldrive II, Distortion Pro, and Clyde Wah, EH Deluxe Memory Man, Ibanez Stereo Chorus, Bixonic Expandora, Crowther Hot Cake, AnalogMan CompRosser....... George L cables, and GHS strings.
