MIKE KENEALLY - FREE EPs VOL 1 AND 2

I encourage the spreading of this Free Live EP far and wide. Feel free to put it on as many music download sites as you want, torrent the living hell out of it, tweet, Facebook, Pinterest… the more you tell your friends, the more people will download it, and that helps me build my audience. Which in turn helps me to make more music and tour… maybe even tour to your town. (We’re trying to play everywhere we can.) All I ask is that the contents of this download (the music, art and liner notes) remain intact and unaltered and again, it remains FREE. So, please, share away! Thank you for giving this EP a listen - see you on the road!

Free EPs Vol 1 and 2 [Exowax Recordings, 1CD]

Here is one musician who is not afraid of internet sharing and also actively promotes it.

Mike Keneally might not be a familiar name but for this 51-year-old American guitarist, keyboardist, vocalist and composer, Allmusic says: “With his wide-ranging talents and ability to be creative in almost any musical situation, Keneally is the leading progressive rock genius of the post-Zappa era.”
The Zappa-reference is not without merit.

Keneally’s stint in the Zappa touring band was short-lived with the early cancellation of the 1988 tour and Zappa’s death in 1993. Keneally moved on from the elder Zappa’s band to work with the eldest Zappa son, Dweezil on his solo albums and work released as the band, Z. - wikipedia
But among musicians, Keneally has worked with Steve Vai, Joe Satriani, Wadada Leo Smith, Henry Kaiser, Andy (Dixie Dregs) West and Andy (XTC) Partridge.
Listening to the largely “instrumental” tracks here, the Steve Vai-Joe Satriani touch is also evident.

Keneally not only offers free tracks on his site, he has prepared two EPs, each containing five tracks, that can be downloaded for free. And he has also been generous in offering the EPs as MP3s (256 kbps) and lossless flacs.
