Teaching myself to record in my home studio. Many live 'one takes' like this. Written a while ago, still want to track a band arrangement but the simple purity of this is hard to recapture.
Strange Journey Strange Journey
Like fine wine many things can get better as the years go by and life can be a long strange journey. Inspired by a High School Reunion.
Hawaiiano50 is Mike Gomez, acoustic guitar driven roots, blues, folk, ethnic and country flavored rock, singer/songwriter is who I am. Real life experience, wordplay whimsy and well honed songcrafting delivered with a unique driving style of guitar accompaniment songs that laugh, bleed and slam you into the wall of human emotions.

We all have war stories... mine are... well... mine. They tell better in song. I've worked a lot as a hired gun, sideman, freelancing and sitting in with local bands and shows doing their stuff. Here I take the opportunity to let you hear my own stuff as it develops. Take a listen.Have you performed in front of an audience?Live engagements currently include various venues such as cofeeshops, bar and grills and outdoor events in Orange County, California and the surrounding areas. Frequently these engagements benefit my favorite drug/alcohol recovery and homeless assistance non-profit organizations. Being able to put a smile on the face of someone who doesn't really have a whole lot to smile about is very special.
