The Rain Troubadours
Chassan M. Hammodat (aka Feter McBlues)
A music lover since his childhood in Baghdad, Iraq, Chassan began playing guitar at age 14. As his home city declined
to hard times, Chassan managed to bloom to beauty where most succumbed to the insanity which is war. His inner strength secured
his passions and emotions in musical compositions that reach from the depths of many classical traditions and renaissance
styles. The Rain Troubadours now echo this foundation while bringing new life from the sad repitition of history that now
can blend the hearts of all through a love of wonderful music.
Chassan's past work includes numerous original compositions, some which can be heard on "Outside These Walls"
by the Brotherhood Band, a group he helped form in 1995. The Brotherhood has been temporarily disbanded due to war, however,
now along with Ian Beardsley Chassan can now look forward to sharing and spreading his gifts to all who will listen.
Ian Beardsley
Ian Beardsley had his first guitar lesson at age five, but began pursuing the instrument as a teenager and more seriously
in his twenties on. His music basically is a longing for answers to the mystery latent in nature, and for a better world for
everyone. He has gone to Spain twice in search of these answers from the Gypsies and Spaniards there, his playing is rooted
in their art. Feter has expanded his horizons into the next level of hope.
