Dennis Geaney (Gain-ey) grew up in Los Angeles and began playing guitar at age 12. One year later , Dennis was playing in his first band and began a lifelong love of being in the middle of groovy rhythm sections. In 1966, Dennis was a founding member of Alexander’s Timeless Bloozband, a band that achieved some success including a recording contract with UNI records. Alexander’s played on the same bill with many 60’s era headliners like The GratefulDead, Buffalo Springfield, Canned Heat, Albert King , Jackie Wilson, Taj Mahal and the Chamber Brothers . In 1969, Dennis was the rhythm guitarist for the Ike and Tina Turner Revue. Ike Turner featured Dennis with the Kings of Rhythm band and often referred to him as the “funkiest white boy in L.A.” Among Dennis’ more memorable gigs with the Revue was a stint in Las Vegas where Elvis Presley was in the main showroom. Moving to the Bay Area in the early seventies, Dennis worked with many R&B artists and fusion groups including Gay Brewer and Jump Street. In 1977, Dennis took a 5 year break from gigging to pursue his career in photography. In 1985 Dennis took over the guitar duties for the Scott Bros., a popular Bay Area party band. Currently, Dennis continues to work as freelance guitarist with a variety of groups and artists. These include JenDen, a duo with talented pianist Jennifer Clevinger, Bernard Anderson and the Old School Band, The Picture Perfect Band, and the party band, Chain of Fools. |
