Al Bien

My "band" is myself, my wife and any of a number of other players who sit in when I play.

I have played live many times. In my early twenties I played coffee houses and some concerts. I got into the retail music business and have just recently begun to return to writing music and performing live.

I have always listened to and appreciated a wide variety of music.

I have several guitars I use and love to play. I use a Santa Cruz Tony Rice acoustic six string acoustic, an Avalon acoustic electric when I need to be amplified and a Tacoma bariotne guitar for certain songs and arrangements.
