| Welcome
to the Studio of Penny for the Guy. I'm currently offering all of my body of work as downloads. This includes, all the good, bad & ugly, including finished and unfinshed songs. Some of these tunes date as far back as 1996 being recorded on a cassette tape and others are neatly polished on my new digital studio. They are in MP3 format. Simply click on the mp3 file, select Save and save in a place desired, for example your desktop. Unzip the file and then play. If of course you do not wish to do this simply drop me an email with your address and I will be happy to drop you a copy of my demo in the mail. Now for a recap, as for the music, Penny for the Guy was born out of an experiment. I've been a musician and songwriter for as long as I can remember now. If you will, you could call it a one man band pushing the bounderies of a recording studio. Since this site was born back in 2001, I've always offered MP3's of my music found in this studio section. I've had great response for my music, I have sent my demo out throught this global planet. A big thank you goes out for all of the kind reviews and links scattered throughout the web, especially Mod Radio UK for their support. So, whats new? I've recieved some fabulous new guitars from Waterstone Guitars, check out the new review of these guitars and also don't forget to visit the Waterstone Guitars website, they have a lot of amazing new things happening in the works, its a very exciting time for them and you heard it here first.   |

From the Beginning.
 |
History Penny for the Guy is the musical toy of myself, Guy Brader. I've been writing and performing songs for years. My dad had a little unknown band in the 60's called "The Soundcasters" who performed hits of the time at local dances and clubs. I started to take interest in playing guitar at the age of 6. I formed my first band in my early teenage years, we played all the local pubs and clubs to diverse crowds and strange requests around Lincolnshire, UK every weekend. |
| Around
this time my music and lifestyle interest started to follow the path
of modernism. My musical influences shifted to the likes of The Small
Faces, The Who, The Yardbirds, The Jam, '79 revival bands and I couldn't
get enough of 60's Soul and R&B which is still a great passion. I
then did my stint in an 80's UK Mod band for a while and then took
off to greener pastures and the sunny skies of Texas. After a few years of growing into my songwriting skin, exploring the roots of modernism and the sheer love of music, Penny for the Guy evolved. |
