As we were born in the mid 60’s, we grew up with the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Genesis, Dire Straits and Barclay James Harvest.
How did your passion for creating music begin?
Remembering some evenings at a campfire, all the girls were looking at the guy with the guitar singing “knocking on heaven’s door”… this was the kick-off for learning how to play guitar 😉
What’s the story behind your current music project?
Six String Hooker and Booby Bullshit knew each other aready from highschool. By chance they met again by jamming with the Coverband “The Long White Cloud Project”.
