About avandguard

....always writing songs, this new project took over a year and will be mastered soon by the legendary Jack Endino here in Seattle. It is called "sixbanger" and will be ready to go March 06. Todd Tobias (producer Robert Pollard)was kind enough to say.."My personal favorites in this collection are the ones with a steely dan vibe...nice chords and backup vocals going in "lost em in Boston" and "vienna" that I dig a lot".
Acoustic guitars melding with just enough electric ones to make things interesting (hence the title), "six banger". I used a Guild, a '64 Epiphone Texan as well as a toy acoustic for some mandolin type sounds. Acoustic drums and looped ones, strings and mellotrons, the works. Michael Penn, Jon Brion, Joseph Arthur, and Joe Henry were huge influences for me on this project.
