Hartley Singer
Hi. My name is Hartley Singer. I've been playing guitar for as long as I can remember. Graduated from Berklee College of Music in Boston, spent a few years doing the travelling band road warrier thing, played for Suzanne Somers, Bob Hope, Frankie Avalon, and lots of other folks. These days I'm involved with a jazz album project, but this site will feature the original "acoustic" stuff I've written over the years.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Sure do, I play live every chance I get. I play solo or with other musicians, it's all good. When I was fifteen, I played in pass-the-hat coffee houses in Greenwich Village, New York, and I've been performing live and recording ever since.
Your musical influences
I've listened to guys like James Taylor, Elton John, Billy Joel, Paul Simon... the list goes on and on. There's also a long list of guitarist influences; George Benson, Larry Carlton, Eric Clapton, Glen Campbell, Pat Metheny ...
What equipment do you use?
Ovation acoustic, Gurian acoustic, Ibanez Joe Pass model jazz guitar, Seymour Duncan pickups are THE BEST.
