"Haven Head" just came out one day after a jam session.

Yes. We play parties and for groups. If you want us for a concert contact management.
We are planning a tour across the country to play at small venues to begin with.

The internet allows people without the normal connections and promoters to be creative and share. It is a good thing. The quality of the "home studio" is pretty amazing.

Only if we get a good deal on the royalties of the creative efforts and have control over the creative content.

Mike has been playing guitar for about 30 years and it shows. His passion for music is like that of a young child with enthusiasm. This makes playing music with him really fun. Jim Arjuna has been playing guitar and composing for 45 years and affter many years of allowing life to interfer with this passion, decided to put it as the number one priority. Sandy Arjuna plays guitar and is a poet and writes the lyrics of HavenHead because she loves to sing, and when you hear her vocals you will understand. She makes the songs fit and have life. Sandy started playing when she was 12 years old.

We play our own genre. It is a mix and morph of all the music we like to listen to, and it becomes it's own genre. We put some songs in Bluegrass, but they are a cross between blues and bluegrass with acoustic rock. We feel that country genre is "the people's music" in the US.

All over the country.

Professional and non professional musicians rate Haven Head music:

"James, yeah, Baby come Home could be the opening soundtrack in a Quinten Tarintino movie, pretty neat! I'll give it 4 fat stars. :)"
.

"Ha Ha!! I ain't gonna put up with *******s anymore! I love that drop d sound and the harmonies that happen with the other guitar."
Majorminor

"Hey there!, got some cool sounds here - really like the tone at the begining of "Baby Come Home"
Dad

"Very interesting sounds. I am a pedal freak so I like the sounds. Reminds me of the old Hot Tuna days when Jorma got some great sounds"

Johnnyboots

"Thanks for your kind words. It is players like you though, who have paved the way for the young kids trying to figure out the blues. Keep bluesin'"
19 year old excellent blues guitarist.

"JM - I appreciate you puttin' your tunes up. Just got done listenin to them again. Something I could listen to all day.
Ken Benjamin"

"Yeah, old age and tenacity will beat youthful exuberance anyday.
I hope I'm still rockin' like that @ 59. You certainly don't sound like everyone else! And I mean that in a good way."
Super_Dave

"I just finished listening to "Love Is A Terribly Good Thing". Cool..different, it reminds me of something jammed from the 60's but with some modern influence."
Lburrows

"I like some of the harmonies and that energy that happens on "Love is", particularly towards the end of the tune, and I'm still hooked into some of the other great tones you are getting on the other tunes.
I was thinking of Krishna and Arjuna. I think the first syllable is accented and it is a first name. keep on exploring!"
Majorminor

"hey marijuana I'm diggin you stuff ! it makes me wanna break out my best chris cornell vocals and go for it!. fav track would have to be 35 miles down the road.

"35 miles and Find the Waters get my votes. Nice space. Great sounds. Is that a half opened wah on find the waters?

"jimarjuna, you've got a style all your own - and I don't mean that in a negative way. There is a great deal of layering, combined with the effect usage, that it will take more than a few listens to hear everything that's going on.
You can make the dissonant stuff work because it's part of your bag, usually I get turned off when it's overdone, but for some reason you kept me hooked!
Find the Waters of Your Soul reminded me of a western flick for some reason...and I could hear 35 Miles Down the Road as a perfect piece in a movie I saw "The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada".
It's like a Neil Young/jam band/lo-fi/modern/garage band mix - if that makes any sense!"
Nervous_data

"Hi Jim, Thanks for stopping by & the compliment.
Your stuff brings me back to the "Iron buttrfly" era, "Ahh,The Good Ole Day's" "Like it,keep it up"!"
Jeff W

"Sorry for not listening sooner. I just got home from work partner. You have a very unique way of composing your style. It is indeed very original and fresh. I can sit here all day long listening to your music, it is refreshing."
CROSS

"I used to play slide on acuostic guitar often"
Ahh... that's what I heard then. Wasn't your first experience with that sort of sound. I really like the song. I've listened to some great music in the few days I've been on this site, but there's actually very little that gets closer to the actual idea of blues than your song "35 Miles" I think we're all sort of trapped into thinking we need a full drumset sound in our music. And drummers are such pricks! (he said, only halfway joking). I think that African drum idea rocks!"
Fishgrease band.

"Wow Jim! Just awesome! The lyrics (Walkin Dead Man) are powerful and very real. What a great chorus! 5 banger all the way. Chop said Country Joe but it's just as strong as Dylan. Some of the verse may be topical as Dylan had a way of stripping time reference away from his lyrics but those things you are singing about still go on today and on this forum!"


"Jim, is part of 35 Miles Down The Road on acoustic? Reminded me a lot of real blues. I mean like Blind Willie Johnson and even Robert Johnson. It's got that kind of soul to it and there's no substitute for soul."
