Under The Malibu Skies - Track 8

Flamenco Surf Rock - California West Coast Instrumental Surf Rock Style with a Spanish Kiss

Malaquena

ORIGINAL CHRISTMAS SONG PARODY that I am completely responsible for. No one else has contributed upon messing up the cute little Frosty ditty.  

08 Frosty The Snowman (the true story)

Christmas Novelty Song with a Rock-A-Billy beat

02 Rudolph Meets Ruby the Blue Eyed Reindeer

A Parody of The Christmas Song "Jingle Bells", I rewrote the words to tell the story upon shopping, running through the stores & malls, going crazy to find those perfect presents for Christmas. I placed an intense Punk/Rock-A-Billy beat to it with some heavy edge guitar. I hope that it makes your Christmas, just a little more festive.  

09 Jingle Bells

My Funky Rendition/Arrangement of that Kool Dude, "Frosty The Snowman". I use mostly all the original words on this one. I greatly recommend it for big guys & girls 10 years of age & under. My parody of this tune, "Frosty(The True Story)", I would not recommend to anyone 21 years of age and under. 

07 Frosty The Snowman

First solo song that I have written and recorded. It's from my vinyl LP called "Live Or Die"

NUCLEARHOLIDAY

Fine Red Red Wine

02 Time Is Right For A Change To Come

09 Crack Cocaine

Surf- rock  West Coast Instrumental made famous by the late/great Dick Dale, "The King Of The Surf Guitar" performed by J. Creed Cat Credo, "The King Of Flamenco Surf Guitar".
With the passing on of my friend and mentor, Dick Dale, even though I have world recognition as the "King of Flamenco Surf Guitar", I do a great tribute to keep him alive through his music for the people who loved his music and the people who will get to love him & his music through me.
  🎸When not performing solo, I perform guitar with the same bass & cornet player and drummer who recorded with me and who have been performing with me, for mostly private functions, for well over ten years. We receive $1500 on up depending upon date and location, but since I have a lot of family and friends in the tri-state area of NY, PA & NJ, I can and would perform for your venue, event or party, anywhere in the tri-state area for Only Five Fifty.
  😎 I have some of the best musicians in the tri-stare area. We do a great one hour tribute to my late great friend. That show alone could be a super hot act for you. By adding in 4 more players, for just three hundred dollars more, I can however bring for you a fantastic New Orleans Style Party Band as a hot opening act or for a night on their own, doing a tribute to Fats Domino, Little Richard, Louie Prima & Gene Krupa with some flaming hot originals. I sing, play piano & keyboards switching off on drums in that act. 
  If you would hire both acts on the same night, you would probably have the first hot headlining act that was a main part of their own opening act. 😄
If you click on to the attachment you can hear my recordings of "Misirlou", (the signature song of Dick Dale, "King Of The Surf Guitar"). 
  I hope to hear from you. "Keep On Rockin" and "Keep Your Fire Burnin", of love in your heart because that's the "Game Of Life".  🎸🎷🥁🎹🎺🎸🎤🎸

Misirlou (opening song for the movie, "Pulp Fiction")

It's That New Orleans Sound!!! This completely original tune of mine was also recorded on Tuesday, August 29, 2017 at Bill Media's "Rainbow Sound Recording Studio" in Bethlehem, PA. It's called "That New Awleans Sound". I sang and played all piano, organ, drums, bass and horn parts on this piece. Bill and I recorded AND mixed this song down in less than an hour. If you would like someone to help you with your projects, I would highly recommend him. You can call him, if you like, at (484) 241-5456. Don't be shy, let him or I know what you think of the tune.

That New Orleans Sound

This is a cut live off of our "Malibu LP". My drummer George Nicola, I feel is one of the best out there who can greatly impersonate Hal Blaine, Dick Dale's Number 1 drummer & I do a little bit of a flair to my mentor, Dick Dale "The King Of The Surf Guitar" along with a taste of Bo Didly.

Drums Of Surf Island

This original tune of mine is truly a great Island Caribbean style tune that always gets people out on dance floor. It is also a cut off of our "Malibu" LP and will be included in the movie.

Move To The Island Beat

I'm J.Creed Cat Credo who has world recognition. I perform & have written nearly every genre of popular music and some that aren't that popular. I also created a genre of music called Flamenco Surf Rock.

My next LP is called “That New Orleans Sound” where I play most of the cuts. As I did on this tune that's called - "Game Of Life".

*CLICK on --> "Game Of Life" - - hear what I sound like singing & playing piano & accordion on my keyboard, as well as, guitar and drums.

By combining the Instrumental West Coast Surf Rock Style of Dick Dale with The Flamenco Style of Ottmar Lebart, I created a genre of music. If you Google “King Of Flamenco Surf Guitar”, my name will show up and you'll get to hear me play guitar.

I have to admit that I am an excellent performing artist and host for any event. I have been into the business making my livelihood through entertainment all of my life. I sing & play 10 different musical instruments. I am a poet, writer, dancer and a comic. Other than writing well over 2,000 songs, many poems, comedy skits and seven great screen plays, I have written jokes & articles for magazines & newspapers and radio & television commercials. I produced many of the commercials and was on the air, quite a while back, with my own TV show called "Sounds Of The Future" & TV Special called, "The Night Of The Arts". I also had "The Doctor Credo" radio show.

I have worked as a theatrical agent for some of the top agencies in NYC & Philadelphia. I have managed & co-managed nightclubs & restaurants since I was fifteen years old. I have produced a few very large events throughout the years. I know a lot of famous people who on nights at places they know that I'm  performing at, they make appearances and some will occasionally perform & do surprise guest spots.

*Of course when I perform; a sax or horn or two or pretty girl or two or three I sometimes add - if the budget permits. I can do very well keeping people on the edge of their seats by myself playing keyboards or piano & singing or playing guitar. I can easily get people up to dance by myself but it's a lot easier for me when I add a drummer and a bass player, … and a horn player with an added female vocalist.

I do have a 9-piece New Orleans Style Band & 7-piece Tropical Rock Band with The Steel Drum King from The Island of Trinidad and I can orchestrate a great 10 or 14 piece orchestra, if you like. I sometimes on shows jump on the drums to perform “Caravan” or “Swing Swing Swing” doing an excellent drum solo. Only ... with a girl on my lap, … make's it hard. Two or three alternating make it almost impossible, but I do my very best and everyone is totally entertained, . . . including me.

Game Of Life

This track is going to be the final cut on my upcoming LP. I will be performing it with my band at The Allentown/ Jack Slice Golf Course  6 PM This Wednesday along with cuts from my "Malibu" LP.

The steel drums on the track are Franklin Cammeron. Today, I perform regularly with his older brother Terrance, "The Steel Drum King". The brothers are from the Island of Trinidad and are equally excellent pan players.

ORIGINAL HIP HOP RAP VERSION OF "THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS"

04 Night Before Christmas Rap

11 Silent Night

Hi , I' m a professional guitarist/vocalist/keyboard player performing artist who has entertained all over the country for many years with some of the finest musicians and entertainers , many who are now known nationally and internationally . I perform a wide variety of styles . I can lean towards any to fit any occasion . I am a master with music that makes people happy to know that they are at the shore ; soca, ska , reggae , calypso , and instrumental surf rock but I also professionally do country , rock-a-billy & classic rock as well as flamenco .                                                                        Here is an example of myself with my electric bass player and drummer who have been with me for approximately ten years . The song is the first flamenco/surf rock creation , which is my rendition of "Malaguena" - the subtitle cut off of my "Malibu" CD . Next also off of my CD features my vocal ability along with myself on guitar on a song that I wrote called , "Mexico Way" . When I perform solo , the song sounds just like the record , because I use the backing soundtracks . The third song is a solo live performance of myself playing my rendition of "The Limbo" . Following is a soca tune that I wrote called , "Move To The Island Beat" . Song #5 is a calypso song that I wrote called , "She's Leaving Today" , and the last tune is, "Tequila Mambo" which is a tribute to Chuck Rios who wrote the song, "Tequila" that he recorded & made a number 1 hit in the 60s with his band "The Champs" . All last three songs feature my cornet player who has been performing with me for over ten years . those last three songs are also on my "Malibu" CD .      I can perform solo with just an acoustic guitar or use soundtracks on some or all of the songs . If there is enough room at your place and enough set up time , if you like , I could set up my keyboards and play some songs on it , or all the songs on it .                                                            
     My band "The Reggae Surfers" is a power trio , guitar , bass and drums , but I'd like to add my cornet player if possible. If you want to go all out and have an event that your guest will greatly/long remember , I can add a complete horn section , keyboard player , pan (steel drum) player , percussionist , or two , and a couple of pretty girl singers . Then you have "The Cat Credo Band " .                
     If you're interested , shoot me an email or call at (610)867-0256 or text me at (484)635-6411 . I am looking forward upon working with you .

Sincerely,

J. Creed Cat Credo
