His musical act is tailored to his audience and developing still. What a repertoire! boasting a song selection to suite any function, audience and venue. Gary plays a beautiful set of double second Steeldrums with four sticks, allowing him to access a greater register of notes, to play both chords and melody, giving a full sound and ensuring that not only the melodies are known to each song, but its entire chord structure and chord progression.
Technology plays a part in his solo performances, as he produces all of his backing tracks at his Steelasophical studio.
