I saw a guy this weekend from Chicago who did a solo gig. Mind you there was no looping, but this guy is amazing! He played drums, guitar, harmonica, organ, mariba, vocals, and at one point did a tap-dancing thing while playing a steel drum! Now the funny thing about it, is that he didnt suck! He rocked! He had an incredibly full sound. He would play up to 4 instruments at one time! The name he goes by is "The Lonesome Organist".It can be pulled off, really well, but I have no clue what kinda hamsters this guy has runnin around in his head to be able to do what he did! An Absolute Must See!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
