I'm having a hard time remembering (the "fuzzies") what was the first thing I heard... probably Weasel Potpie or One. I remember hearing/seeing that he was opening for Buckethead and then I had to find out what he was all about. So I found out that he was playing here in Ottawa and I got the bug. Of course, there was never any looking back. I was (like most) immediately addicted and forced to sell my body on the streetcorner to feed my habit.. after seeing him LIVE the need only got worse, pretty soon I was up to 2 or 3 CD's a day... then when The Frankenstein Brothers came along my prayers had been answered (I said repeatedly on uToob comments that they should oughtta do an album!) and I'm still holding out for a follow-up. Those two are in a class all their own and they make beautiful music together.
I have seen T1G 6 times now I think, and it just keeps on getting better. I always refer to myself as "That 1 Fan" (it was waayyyy worse on the old messageboard where there was like me and 3 other people (ok, I exaggerate, maybe 5) and posts were on a monthly, almost yearly frequency) and I volunteer every chance I get. Annie (my 6 yr. old Daughter) is a huge fan now too and both my kids call him "Uncle Mike". My Wife is finally on-board now too after last Summer's Folkfest, she finally got to see him in action and like the rest of us, the hook was/is undeniable.
Seeing is believing. His show is %99 visual, and that's saying something because his music is just so damned good too! It's always fun to watch an entire audience be "converted" right in front of your eyes. He has that effect.

"One other highlight of the day was the performance by an incredibly talented artist called “That 1 Guy”. He used a self-designed and built instrument he calls the “Magic Pipe”. His music was funky and cool, and if you had your eyes closed you would never believe it was coming from a 7ft series of pipes! Be sure to check out his website, and if he’s coming to your town GO SEE HIM!"…
Thanks for coming out David! Full review can be found here.
"Utilizing every style under the sun, from Heavy Metal, to lounge room Jazz, That 1 Guy loops his own rhythms, beats, melodies and harmonies, piecing together remarkable songs in the most interesting, off-beat chords. Exploring trail-blazing experimental music that's still…
