Album Notes

Cheeks McGee is a one man jam band from Quincy IL that is a self-taught, percussive, and rhythmic acoustic guitar player. Cheeks plays his trademark '81' Takamine mahogany acoustic guitar while looping tasty riffs and chord progressions with a Gibson Echoplex. Once the loop is set Cheeks adds percussive patterns by either hitting his guitar or making unique sounds with his mouth to personify the illusion of having a drummer and bass player. He then throws down some wicked solos with either his trusty sidekick...the trumpet or takes it to a different dimension by soloing on his acoustic guitar through his "talk box" to get some outrageous sounds! Cheeks McGee is a fun-loving one man jam band and singer/songwriter known for his songs about love, women, drinks, and sexual innuendos! McGee's on stage antics and humorous yet sometimes sentimental lyrics wins the hearts of the crowd which makes the fans love him more and more! Cheeks McGee has gained the respect of many bands around the area and is constantly sitting in with these touring bands performing on his trumpet. The past four years for Cheeks McGee have been an experiment of his solo career. He has now built his solo acoustic regimen into something that can stand alone by itself. Using his skills on various instruments, Cheeks has built a solo show that has opened the eyes and grabbed the attention of many bands, people, and venues in the area as well as across the nation!! This is where we are today. A high-energy, entertaining get out of your seat show that makes his fans want to come back for more. This past summer Cheeks put together a NATIONWIDE TOUR that expanded across 27 states and over 30 live performances to expand his fan base and bring his unique solo show to fans across the nation!

He now has very talented musicians backing him on many songs that he used to do just acoustically. The musicians have all been auditioned and handpicked by Cheeks and they all have a background in jazz and funk! The bands sound is a high energy acoustic funk rock that will have you on your feet dancing all night. If you threw the musical sounds of Dave Matthews band, Cake, P-Funk, and Jack Johnson into a musical blender im pretty sure you would pour out a tasty concoction that will forever change your life. That concoction would be Cheeks McGee and his band!
