Neil Alexander & NAIL

Neil Alexander & NAIL present A Tribute to Jeff Beck

At The Wherehouse Restaurant – 119 Liberty St Newburgh NY Saturday February 27^th 8 pm

Close your eyes and hear sharp and elegantly electrifying gut guitar sounds. Open your eyes and behold keyboardist Neil Alexander and his amazing ensemble NAIL focusing their considerable skills to honor guitar legend Jeff Beck. Jeff’s style has always held fascination for the Hudson Valley based keyboardist well known for his ability to emulate the electric guitar. “His range of sounds – with just a guitar & amp – staggers the imagination,” says Neil. Armed with skills established in his 10 years of experience in Pink Floyd tribute band The Machine and his current status as a member of the John McLaughlin tribute band Mahavishnu Project, Neil is confident they can pull off a “guitarless” tribute – to a guitarist. A “tribute show” is new for NAIL whose shows are traditionally original music spiced with a few pieces by other artists. The evening will include songs from classic discs Blow by Blow, Wired, and Guitar Shop, as well as “stylistically appropriate” tunes and some NAIL originals.

Neil Alexander and NAIL have no plans to be a full time tribute band. “Our focus will always be on our original material.” Says Neil. “We’re just widening our scope & trying something new”. The performance will take place on Feb 27^th at The Wherehouse Restaurant in Newburgh, fast becoming a well-known haunt for great live music.
