Claude Hay "Deep Fried Satisfied" Sept 21, 2010

Australian blues guitarist and loop artist Claude Hay fuses

slide guitar, sitar, bass and electronic percussion in a

loop-driven edge-of-the-seat show that invokes the best

of stomping traditional blues with a booty-shaking funk

edge. His fresh take on roots and blues draws in a wide

spectrum of listeners, but still has the chops for the blues

enthusiasts. Claude Hay's independently released debut

album Kiss the Sky (2007) was the ticket he needed to

perform at venues and festivals all over the world,

including in the UK, Europe and the US. His new release,

Deep Fried Satisfied, showcases Claude as the ultimate

Do-It-Yourselfer, honing his craft with self-built

instruments and undeniable talent.

The inspiration for Deep Fried Satisfied was born out of

the guilt-ridden love affair he had with fried food, which

was magnified when touring USA in 2008. This album is

chock full of Muddy Waters-inspired, slide driven blues

riffs and P-Funk style breakdowns & choruses. Claude’s

particular affection for New York style pizza is the

inspiration for Get Me Some, which follows the success of

“How Can You Live With Yourself,” a head-bobbing blues

tune that Australians pushed to #1 on nationwide radio

station JJJ’s Unearthed.

Claude Hay returns to the USA in November to promote

his second release after touring tirelessly in Australia with

his custom campervan and hand-built twin neck guitar,

fondly known as Betty.
