Very versatile, from sensitive ballads to high energy rockin' that has no equal. Loves his audience, which is why his audience loves him.
At the moment, my band is me. I've founded some awesome bands in the past: Benn Gunn, Eightballs, and Homemade Jam (HMJ). But let's just at this time call it Dynamic Productions, which is me.

Story behind the song
Inspired by an artile about Keith Richards, who supposedly threw ove his dinner plate at an expensive restaurant because he didn't like the meal... or maybe just for fun. Originally written for the band Benn Gunn, but the band Eightballs made it our theme song and took it on the road in New York and New Jersey.
Lyrics
(WE'RE JUST A) ROCK AND ROLL BAND words & music by Tom Fair (C) 1971, 2099 Good evening, Mister Officer, as far as I can tell. You say some strange complaints were made concerning this hotel? We'd really like to help you, but there's little we can do: Y' see, we're just a rock 'n' roll band, and we're only passing through. You say three teenage female girls Are missing from their homes? You hit the streets and searched the city with a fine tooth comb. And after checking out all else, you traced those girls back here? Well, we're just a rock 'n' roll band. Would you like a can of beer? You say a long-haired stranger was heard to cause a scene When he spilt the five course dinner of an elegant cuisine... Well, that description easily fits any one of us; But we're just a rock 'n' roll band, and we catch the midnight bus! It sure is a coincidence, it sure is a surprise That every time we come to town, all crime is on the rise. We'd really like to help you, but there's little we can do. Y' see, we're just a rock 'n' roll band, and we're only passing through!
