This performance is my soulful, funk cover of Summertime. George Gershwin composed the music, and DuBose Heyward wrote the lyrics for the 1935 opera Porgy and Bess.

This live music performance was recorded at the Desert Mountain Club in Scottsdale, Arizona in the Cochise / Geronimo Clubhouse restaurant on August 3, 2019, while performing for Desert Mountain members and guests.

I’ve regularly been performing for the Desert Mountain Club community since 2002 and couldn’t ask for a better place to play and entertain.

If you’re interested in the setup and gear used for this video below is some tech info for you!

I’m playing a Taylor T5 guitar plugged into a Boss GT-1 Guitar Multi-effects Pedal going into a Boss VE-8 Acoustic Singer processor the vocal mic plugged into the VE-8.

I separate the guitar signal to the left output and the vocal signal to the right output of the VE-8.

And then connect the guitar signal into channel 1, and the vocal signal into channel 2 into a Bose S1 Pro PA System. I used the loop feature in the VE-8 to create a loop of the verse and chorus chord changes to solo over.

I created the backing track using Band in a Box for Mac.

I shot this video with my iPhone X front-facing camera with an Olloclip Super-Wide Pro Lens.

The audio was recorded by sending the output of the Bose S-1 P.A. into a Roland GO:MIXER PRO Audio Mixer into the iPhone X.

I’m using a Joby GripTight PRO Mount attached to a light stand to hold the iPhone.

The Roland GO:MIXER is held with an IK Multimedia iKlip Xpand Adjustable Holder for Tablets/iPad also attached to the light stand.
