About Me |
|
| Single Car Garage formed out of a recording project in the Spring of 2006. We have a certain chemistry and sound that our audiences enjoy and relate to. The band consists of musicians Dean Cherkas, Mike Foottit and Blaine Powel. We frequently encourage other musicians to sit in with the group. We've recorded ten of Mike's original songs in live takes through one microphone into a DAW system. With the recording project finished and mastered, we are looking to take our mix of acoustic/electric roots music to small venues and festivals. Mike has a long list of musical accomplishments. The long time guitarist/singersongwriter has two solo albums and a third in progress. He has played at festivals in northern BC as a solo act but generally sticks close to home with work and family. Songwriting and recording are the two great passions that keep him up late on winter nights . Mike feeds the need for more guitars ( because one never has enough )by building his own, including a lap steel, archtop, dobro and mandolin. He built his daughter's guitar..then she bought a new one. Blaine started music lessons early in life on the piano and clarinet. He is currently taking bass lessons. His love of the drums began at an early age when he got a toy drum for Christmas. By the age of 10 he convinced his parents that drums were his passion. As his parents moved around Canada, he was fortunate to get lesson from Des Eagon in Toronto to Jim Blackley in Vancouver. Blaine played his first gigs at the age of 14 in Vancouver. He has played in bands with his brothers, friends, as well as recorded. His interests range and include Latin, Big Band, Jazz, and Country Rock. Blaine was part owner of "Drums Only" in Vancouver with Ray Ayotte for a number of years before returning to university and then the northern latitudes. Dean is a prairie boy through and through! He credits his beautiful wife Marianne and children Kayla, Taylor and Chelsey and Parents Peter and Lydia, for their love and support. Many many gigs big and small have been played through Dean's soul. Session experience made up most of Dean's time while in University in the mid 80's. Playing music with Blaine and Mike has allowed Dean the ability to share creative ideas(and acquired a taste for good wine!). Other bands often invite Dean to sit in with his Sax. Dean had his stand up base ("Luba") made for him in Prince George by Jim Borden.
