A DREAM COME TRUE! Hey folks, this is truly a dream project for me, as I get to play and record an album with one of my all-time musical heroes, JOHN SEBASTIAN! In my first few years of becoming a serious guitarist and music lover, John's band, The Lovin' Spoonful was a huge influence on me, and I was also inspired and turned on by the great playing of Zal Yanovsky, who was lead guitarist! John Sebastian is one of the great American singers and songwriters, and it's an honor to work with him!
Lovin' the Spoonful!
As a professional guitarist now for over 48 years, I have literally played with everyone from Simon & Garfunkel to Pete Seeger, but John Sebastian is one artist I am still truly "star struck" by, as I was such a huge LOVIN' SPOONFUL fan growing up! His music is timeless, and I am so honored that John is working with me on this very personal and exciting new project that we are both deeply committed to, and excited by! Zal Yanovsky was a big influence on me too, and I always loved his Country-tinged playing that really appealed to my ears! Not to mention his infectious charisma and approach to performing, full of humor and great spirit!
I have 15 solo albums to my credit, and have had good success "crowd-funding" a couple of very successful albums over the last 4 years, namely the "Slide Guitar Summit" and it's soon to be released followup, "Telemasters."
We need extra funding to put this one over the top, to pay for studio time, photography, design, mixing and mastering. This will be an album for the ages, and me and John can't wait to get it finished and in your hands! You'll find lots of cool "perks" for your contributions at many different levels, but really the greatest "perk" of all will be to know you helped make this wonderful "dream project" come true! We thank you so much for your support!!
