Robert Fowler: Artist / Songwriter / Musician / Guitarist / Producer. Veteran w/ many years of experience on both stage and studio.
Robert is an amazing guitarist, and multi instrumentalist, from the Kent Valley, Kent Washington USA. A natural musician, with a trained ear, and almost perfect memory for melody, Robert got his start in the early 70's when he was given his first guitar. He spent the next 10 years playing primarily the acoustic guitar, taking classical guitar lessons, learning by fakebook, and by ear. Picking up the electric guitar in the early 80's, he soon gravitated to playing in a host of cover bands In the local and regional area, and spent the majority of 20 years playing an average of 100, 4 hour, shows a year. He soon garnered a reputation of being one of the areas finest guitarists, and had stints as a bassist, and on call, studio, and live musician. During that time, he would meet a top flight live, and studio engineer, who set him on the path to becoming an original artist. Laboring with the first generation recording software and the unreliable hardware, he taught himself the basics of digital recording, editing, and mastering, while also applying his knowledge of mic techniques, and started recording. Since that time he has completed 7 full length releases, under several monikers, numerous demos and once offs recordings, has been published twice, and has performed most of the material live to rave reviews. To this date, Robert continues to perform with several projects, both cover, and original, do studio work, and write for his next instrumental release. Robert is currently looking / working towards a full time touring situation, as sideman, or bandleader, and will entertain any legitimate offers. 206 327 2452 pst

Story behind the song
After not writing anything of note in the last 8 months due to my involvement with cover bands, this marks the return to my studio for some serious work on my next cd. This song is also a return to what I feel is my true calling in music...progressive rock with the "kitchen sink" approach to instrumentation and styles. Sidebarre: funny how this song never made it to the new cd.... Production notes: many acoustic guitars, many electric guitars...writing influenced by Trans-Atlantic, Tull, and others...

This was too good. It almost felt like listening to Transantlantic, but with more heart.
