I am GR Swardson, “the One-Man-Looping-Rock-Band”. My stage name is Waking Masses. Watch and listen to my guitars, bass, drums and vocals as I build my original songs in real time using a loop machine. I perform heavy alternative rock.
Each song is built independently and all the music is performed live in front of the audience. No pre-recorded tracks. I have written songs in heavy alternative rock.
When people see me perform, they are in awe. As I build each song in front of the crowd, their curiosity grows wondering what I’m going to do next. Once the song is built using my rhythm guitar, bass and drums, I then solo over the top of what I built and add lyrics too. I sound like there are 5 people performing on the stage but the audience asks themselves, where are the other band members?
Songs
I perform my original songs in Heavy Alternative Rock style. As a creative artist, my music does not resonate or mimic any other artists. I am my own unique sound combinations and enhanced by my own unique lyrics that I wrote. All of my music is protected by ASCAP.

Having never booked for live music before, I was not quite sure how it was going to pan out, but the musician played the songs as requested, he was fantastic and worth every penny. Thank you so much for making it so easy to find such a superb musician.
