Claude Hay is an Australian solo artist who cleverly combines Guitar, Bass and Drums using both hands, both feet and a looper. Claude draws from his influences in blues, rock and funk influences to create very infectious music. Having seen Claude support Joe Bonamassa as a one man band last week I was blown away, Claude is not only a great guitar player, especially slide, but has a fantastic voice too and to play drums and guitar at the same time as well as sing amazes me. You can hear a preview of Claude’s albums over on his site http://claudehay.com.au/, where you will also find links to purchase his albums too.

Check out this looping demo by Claude!

In Episode 14 of the Podcast I talk to Paul Ortiz, the mastermind behind the instrumental Progressive Metal band Chimp Spanner. I reviewed the amazing EP ‘All Roads Lead Here’ back in February (read my review here) and have had it on constantly ever since, definitely my album of the year despite it being an EP, so it was a great pleasure for me to catch up with Paul to talk about the recent US Tour with Jeff Loomis, the recording of the EP and the gear used.
