Claude Hay

Claude's solo act features his right foot on drums and percussion, his left foot on live looping and conducting and his hands on bass guitar, acoustic guitar and doumbek. Not to mention his vocal as the lead singer and backup. From a recent interview, Claude describes it as "a one-man band thing with a baritone guitar, percussion sounds and a shitload of effects - and it's all played live and possibly sounds somewhere in between P-Funk and Xavier Rudd.
