biography
"McPullish has managed to create an intriguing, original reggae sound, which truly differs from the commonly known modern roots reggae." -Reggae Vibes Sept. 2008 "You need to be paying McPullish serious attention if you have any interest in modern roots and dub." -John Eden Woofah 2008
McPullish is a musical project and nickname of musician / producer Carson Hoovestol, realized after years of musical exploration, recording and practice in the art of dub. Writing, playing, and mixing original songs with Luciano, Judge, Chezidek, General Smiley, Ninja Ford, Sylford Walker, Fantan Mojah, Ginjah, Aimann Raad, Red Lion, Lutan Fyah, Mark Wonder and plenty of instrumental and Dub tunes, McPullish has built up his label; Charlie's Records. He is available for booking as a solo LIVE DUB act.
Now based in Buda, Texas, McPullish operates a specialized musical laboratory called Dub Cove Studio. Playing real instruments live in the studio to build songs gives his music a lively and unique sound. McPullish plays guitar, bass, drums, piano, organ, percussion, 909 drum machine, synths, and other instruments. Guests sometimes lay down vocals, horns, flute, etc.
McPullish has performed with and opened for some great artists and bands including General Smiley, Mad Professor, the Delfonics, Clinton Fearon, Easy Star All Stars, Contra Coup, Grimy Styles, the Bandulus, Judge, Mystic, DJ Chicken George, Killah Priest, Dr Dubbist, Don Chani, DOJO, and many more.
