More About KarlStraub

My name is Karl Straub.
I've listened to all different musical genres since I was young. I like to blur them together in my work.
I'm trying to write songs that combine catchy music in various genres with literary fiction storytelling techniques. I try to play guitar with a sound that blends rock and roll, jazz, country, and blues.
I'm influenced by lots of people--
Rock and roll-
the Beatles, Dylan, the Rolling Stones, the Byrds, Velvet Underground, Captain Beefheart
Country--
Bob Wills, Merle Haggard, Roy Nichols, Clarence White
Jazz--
Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, Lester Young, Dexter Gordon, Randy Newman, Cecil Taylor, Ornette Coleman, Steve Lacy, Lee Konitz
Blues--
Howlin' Wolf, Freddie King
Classical--
Bach, Beethoven, Mozart
Fiction writers--
Saki, John Collier, Graham Greene, Evelyn Waugh, Guy De Maupassant
