Hammond C3 Is the Heart of the Show for Damon Fox of Bigelf

September 01, 2009
Hammond C3 Bigelf

I will admit that I was not necessarily into the idea of covering a prog rock band, at least not at first. But Bigelf won me over, with their musicianship and their sense of showmanship. We love rockstars who look like they mean it!

Aesthetics aside, Damon Fox is a skilled man who knows and loves his vintage gear. So much so, that the band tours with a Hammond C3 and a massive Leslie rotating speaker rig. And that's just the start. Also, they've been hauling their own gear for most of the band's existence, so you KNOW they're serious.

Fox tells us about his Hammond C3 and the challenges of touring with it, both domestically and overseas.

I was there

By: Wheat Williams

I met and spoke with Damon after Bigelf's recent performance with Dream Theater on the Progressive Nation 2009 tour in Atlanta, Georgia. Despite his über-scary stage personna and music, he's a very nice guy and a deep, thoughtful musician with a vast knowledge of vintage musical instruments and audio equipment, and a great appreciation of the whole history of rock music. I'm a Bigelf fan now, for sure.
