I'm primarily a solo artist who focuses on recording and performing my own eclectic, jazz-influenced original music. I play mainly guitar, but also bass, drums, and keyboards. My three albums to date have material that ranges from instrumental jazz to fusion, ambient, progressive pop, and other unclassifiable genres.
Band/artist history
I've been playing guitar since I was 9 years old, bass since 16, drums since 28! Since the mid 1980's I've been an avid composer and recording enthusiast. As of early 2006, I have released 3 independent CD's of my original music. Since then, I have been focusing mainly on writing and performing a variety of acoustic music without a recording project in mind.
Have you performed in front of an audience?
I do, but rarely. I have a repertoire of solo material in the jazz, Brazilian, and "eclectic acoustic" genres.
Your musical influences
Jazz - everything from the 1930s until the 1980s. Brazilian music - MPB, bossa nova, and samba. Lounge and "chill" smooth electronica as well at times.
What equipment do you use?
I have owned nearly 100 guitars in my lifetime so far, but I try focus on a few really good ones now: Acoustic: 2011 Erich Solomon Imperial archtop 1947 Gibson L-5N 1947 Gibson Super 400 2011 Martin 000-18GE 2008 Anders Eliasson flamenco blanca Electric: Chris Forshage "Ergo" (2) 1967 Gibson ES-335TDC 1957 Gibson ES-175DN Recent Warmoth partscaster Tele Amps: '79 Fender Princeton Reverb with 12" speaker Acoustic Image Clarus 2R into a couple of different cabinets

very nice guitar work on all the songs (from a production view, i liked the distant guitar in the intro of each passing day in particular). not so sure the lyrics are as strong at times, but offer congrats for the good stuff.
