Cheeks McGee Bio
A singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and music educator, Cheeks McGee has made a name for himself across the country by performing his unique one-man live show in veunes across the nation. What makes him so different and stand out from other musicians is how incorporates his trumpet skills in his live show. He has played trumpet since the age of 10 and that is where he got the name "Cheeks." (Watching childhood hero Dizzy Gillespie puff his cheeks out!) Though Cheeks primarly tours as a solo one man band show he frequently sits in with touring bands and jams on trumpet with them.
Cheeks McGee's music is based around acoustic rock but combines elements of blues, jazz, alternative rock, reggae, electronica/dance, funk, and other assorted genres. He is often described as a 'one-man jam-band' due to his frequent use of live phrase looping with multiple instruments.
Cheeks live shows feature him solo on-stage with a boss pedal looping unit, and he creates his backing loops in the moment, building layers of music like cake. He then adds percussive patterns by either hitting his guitar or making unique sounds with his mouth to personify the illusion of having a drummer and bass player. After he has built "the loop" he will then sing, and throw down some wicked solos with his trusty sidekick...the trumpet!
A native of Northeast Missouri and graduated with a music education degree from a private liberal arts college Cheeks juggles his time educating the youth of America as the Director of Athletic Bands at Culver-Stockton College by day and performing music by night!! During the summers Cheeks spends 3 months on the road touring relentlessly from coast to coast bringing his fun-loving personality and one man show to the masses.
