Ernie Scholl

He began playing the guitar at age twelve, switched to bass guitar at 16 and was playing in a band at 18. After graduating from the University of Maine Farmington, he worked in Augusta for the State of Maine for about a year. Since then he has been most happy to pursue his passion for music at Everyday Music.

Christopher Neal has been working for Everyday Music since November of 1999.  A lifelong music fan, he began his studies on Violin in third grade.  With his transition to Guitar at age twelve, he dove in to music with both feet, studying not only the technique of how to play but the history of music in general, leading to his local reputation as a “walking rock and roll encyclopedia”.  Though he is a capable Guitar player, it’s as a Bassist that he really shines.  His four and six string talents have contributed to many acts over the years, among them The Amoebas, Roma, The AC30s, and his current band, The Dead Sexies.  He also lived a teenage dream when he played bass with The Violent Femmes in March of 2006.  
In addition to Bass and Guitar, Chris is also comfortable playing Drums, Keyboards, Mandolin, and nearly anything else he can get his hands on.  This comes in handy in his home recording studio, where, in addition to his own material, he has recorded artists with styles ranging from hip hop to bawdy funk; hard rock bands to solo singer-songwriters.  Besides music, his other interests include cooking, bicycling, and a nearly pathological love for cartoons.

Favorite bands: The Rolling Stones, The Clash, The Pixies, The Violent Femmes, The Beatles

Favorite songs: "You Can't Always Get What You Want"- Rolling Stones; "Straight To Hell"- The Clash; "Kiss At The End Of The Rainbow"- Mitch And Mickey

Recently she has put her efforts to tape in the form of an self-titled EP of original music.  Even though music is the predominant feature of her life, she also enjoys other things like reading, cooking, and attempting to not be so quixotic.  The best concerts of her life include seeing Paul McCartney in 2002, meeting Kasey Chambers in 2004 and front row seats to two sold out Bright Eyes shows in NYC.
