AboutMe: WILD COUNTRY/MACFANO..."In 1996, I met Mustang Johnn Alfano and joined Wild Country with Ron Desjarlais and James Ward. In '98, we changed the name to MACFANO and released this CD which we debuted at the Merritt Music fesival that year. John was one of the best guitar players I've ever worked with. Great Sound, style and feel. The stroke he suffered that ended his career was a tremendous loss to me and his fans." CRAIG MCILVEEN AND FRIENDS..."In 1995, I wrote and produced my first CD it featured 12 songs, with KING OF FOOLS and WHEN THE WALLS COME DOWN receiving good airplay in Europe. You can hear my influences quite clearly ( Dwight, The Mavericks, Beatles, Willie)... There's a good blend of songs on this CD. I still like listening to it... Ya gotta start somewhere and this is mine." LONGRUN..."I met Brian Zalo in 2000 when he replaced John in the band... Brian's guitar playing was great and his vocal and mine blended perfectly... We added Eric Reed on guitar and keys and changed the name to LONGRUN. Played at fairs like Cloverdale Rodeo, Dawson City Music Festival, Abbotsford, Rednexx and others..." BCCMA AWARDS..."What can I say! To win Bass Player of the Year was a great thrill for me."
