This CD of guitar driven, primarily instrumental music explores fresh approaches to funk and rock, as well as humorous takes on country, swing and blues. It has been described as experimental, but accessible.
The disc features world class, ground breaking drumming from virtuoso Virgil Donati (Planet X, Steve Vai) and unbelievable bass playing provided by Ric Fierabracci (Chick Corea, Andy Summers). There’s also guest appearances from Howard Levy (Bela Fleck) and Cathy Richardson.

Co-produced and mixed by T.J. Helmerich, this disc is bound to satisfy fans of quality instrumental music who are in search of something new.
