Located in Bloomington, Indiana, Denis has been playing guitar for the past fourteen years. He has always been a big fan of instrumental rock guitar music and guitar music in general. Denis has always striven to emphasize melodic playing, unique techniques and solid guitar tones in his music. When it came time to record for his first CD, Denis was a one-man recording machine, playing all the instruments (including guitar, bass, vocals and drum programming) and recording the music in his digital 8-track based home studio. Taaffe plans to manufacture CDs of "Modern Rock Guitar, Vol. 1: Abducted By Aliens" to be ready for release in late April of 1999. His song, "The Reef" will be included in the Roland VS-880 User's Group Compilation CD. The CD contains material from the years 1997-1999. The CD was recorded and mixed in his home digital studio. The CD was mastered at Bloomington's Echo Park Studio's by Mark Hood (the studio's owner, who has worked on with many artists including guitarist John Scofield and many others).

I recommend Denis waste no more time, get himself a good music publisher and manager, and he could be writing hits for established stars soon than he thinks, many of the tracks on the CD could easily be heard on radio no doubt.
