Metamatic Forums Socialising The Green Room American Synth Players ?

Can anyone name an American synth player from the 1970s -1980s ? For the life of me, I cannot name one.

Well Maryann, I think in America every-one played banjo in that era ... But I do know a Canadian musician of that era (and beyond). His name is Nash The Slash. Check him out! (he has worked with Daniel Lanois and Gary Numan for example).

Hi maryann,

This man is a goddamn legend and from your neck of the woods ;

Anothet NYC synth/kitchen sink maverick was Arthur Russell.

Apart from Robert Moog in the 1960s.


Thanks for that, Garry.

but I'll start with two of my faves..

Mark Mothersbaugh from DEVO and Chas Gray from Wall of Voodoo

How did I forget DEVO!???

Clearly I need my head examined...where's Booji Boy when I need him?

Steve Martin certainly did. And quite well too.
