Athabaxtra
Chuck Crowe is an L.A. based guitarist/singer/sonwriter.
Don't ask where 'Athabaxtra' came from...
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Did the East Coast bars in the '80's. Back home in L.A. to stay... Since my return I've played with a number of people around town. All as a sideman. Now I'm trying to establish an identity all my own... so to speak... Don't I know you from somewhere?
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Coming soon to a Coffee House near you.... or perhaps your living room!

Kerry Getz is quite good (acoustic rock/folk rock) you can find her on the web at www.kerry-getz.com
Also check out bass-player Gene Sobczak's band "One Good Meteor" at IUMA or http://www.onegoodmeteor.com/. Kinda tech-industrio-progressive-ambient-undefinable rock...
No, I don't get paid for mentioning them... they are just some of my talented friends....
