Geoff Achison is Making a Scene
from Making a Scene Presents Hosted by Richard LHommedieu
Making a Scene Presents an Interview with Geoff Achison Geoff Achison was born on Phillip Island, Victoria. He is the third of five siblings and was raised in the Victorian rural village of Malmsbury. His journey in music began when he discovered a forgotten old guitar beneath the stairwell of the family home. His trumpet-playing father enthusiastically found him a guitar teacher, and his first gigs were with his dad’s old-time dance band. The young guitarist displayed enough promise to attract the attention of local jazz musician Alan Watson. Through his new mentor, he was exposed to jazz and improvisation. At Watson's suggestion, Geoff temporarily switched to bass-guitar, which provided him with a greater understanding of the rhythm section. http://www.makingascene.org
