Hi dear forum members!
I'm happy to present my new project called Dandelion String Band, where I play on my Fender Dual Pro. We're four friends who met in other bands, and we've just recorded two tracks, the first of which is the Cindy Walker standard "It's All Your Fault". I hope you'll like it.

Who those who are interested, I play my steel plugged in a new Fender Vibro Champ Reverb, with no effects.

Couldn't really understand the vocalist but the overall vibe was fantastic and nice solo on the fender

Great music! I didn't have any trouble understanding the singer, either. So, is that jug fresh from the still? :D

Thanks to all of you for your comments !

David, one of my grandfathers used to make plume brandy, but I've always avoided drinking it before playing, especially steel guitar :)

Ron, the idea with this band is to play a lot of parts with the guitars doubled, sometimes in harmony, sometimes in unisson. It's always a pleasure to play those twin guitar parts, just like back then.

Jerry, yes those steels sound so great ! It's just too bad you can't mute the strings.

Thank you so much everyone. I'm learning so much through this forum, it's nice to know that you appreciate the sound of this new band.

Carey, we're French and Django's music is still very present here, so maybe unconsciously it's felt in our swing, but none of us have ever really played gypsy jazz.
Larry, living in the home of western swing, I take your compliment with great pleasure :)
I like a lot what you're doing with the steel Ethan, glad you liked this video !
