Guitarist & Composer Has Acoustic Dreams
|
Ron Wright is a Carmel, California-based guitarist who, in his words, composes music of rare quality and sensitivity, incorporating many styles and techniques. To this end, Wright has released a new CD, entitled Acoustic Dreams. Wright used seven different acoustic guitars on the record, as well as mandolin and sampled instruments, such as strings, oboe, french horn, flute, percussion and more. The instrumental music on Acoustic Dreams is highly evocative as Wright produces landscapes of sound and imagery through his heartfelt arrangement style and orchestration. The disc contains moments of flash as well, evidenced by the acoustical two-handed approach on "Flight Of The Bumble Bee." Wright also arranged, produced and engineered the CD.
Ron, born in Montana, grew up in a musical family and began playing the guitar at the age of ten. He endeavors to compose music in many different styles and genres to appeal to music lovers across the globe. Ron has released a seven-song cassette tape, entitled "The Pilgrim And The Preacher", a project with high-energy rock and rock ballads recorded with special guest artists such as lead vocalist Bobby Kimball and drummer John Ferarro. This eventually led to his desire to do an acoustic project, which was recorded at Ron's private studio in Pebble Beach, California.
Wright is currently trying to promote his latest CD, as well as shop it to hard working record labels. He is also interested in touring with an innovative group of musicians.

More Rock 'N Roll Fun Than Ought To Be Legal
|
There is music released for fame, there is music released for money, and there is music that is released for the sheer fun of doing so. The music of Rochester, New York band Nobody's Hero's certainly falls into the latter category. What other motivation could there possibly be when the band promotes their latest CD, Outta' Time, by stating, "If you can't find anything on this disc you hate, you aren't really trying!" The CD, the music, the liner notes and the promos all seem to be designed to get you moving and to put a smile on your face. The music itself is suitably eclectic--how about 22 cuts of rock, alternative, metal, blues, cartoon fun, punk and hillbilly? Besides the levity, there are some genuinely good songs, especially the Who-meets-the-Ramones send-up, "Summertime Girls." Nobody's Hero's can rock like nobody's business.
Nobody's Hero's was formed when four hard-working men from Rochester decided they needed an activity to get away from the ten children, three houses and a trailer they had between them. After a promising start in 1981 playing the punk scene at local clubs and colleges, the band eventually drifted apart until one fine day in 1995, when Rick Kretovic, Mick Lethal and Bob Bauer went over to bassist Dave Schanz' house and began to rehearse and write songs. Someone had the bright idea to record and release a CD, and out popped Outta' Time. Well..that's what I heard.
In the band's words, "Nobody does this because Nobody cares. Because we mean what we play even if it's silly. Because people like you determine what sucks and what doesn't no matter how many times the same 30 songs play over and over on the radio. Because where else can four middle-aged working-class men from the West side of Rochester play rock star and be registered in the Library of Congress?" Besides that, there's always the groupies.
