I am an acoustic guitarist/singer/songwriter with over 25 years experience at crafting a broad spectrum of original music. The songs are rich in mythos and emotion lyrically and musically...held by unique chording and diverse rhythms. The music is compellingly unique and combines elements of jazz, rock, contemporary folk, latin and more.

I have written over 50 songs the past 2 years. The majority are instrumental explorations on innovative rhythms and melodic chords with distinctive lyrical elements. The balance includes vocals and lyrics. Ten of these, along with two instrumentals, are assembled in a recently recorded album called Tangled in the Moon. It features a wide variety of styles and rhythms and includes Bill Athens on upright and electric bass, Ken Ollis on drums and percussion and Mitch Imori on a variety of woodwinds and horns. I compose, write, sing and play amplified acoustic guitar.

See below for further description and for music downloads

Galen Fous myspace page - only 6 songs there or go to http://jamwave.com/Galen for the full album, Tangled in the Moon.

For examples of mutli-tempo, highly lyrical instrumentals, go to the jamwave site and listen to “Silhouettes on Parade” and “White Horses”.

I would like to connect with mature musicians who can feel and listen, more than read charts, to record, play PNW festivals, special events and clubs...in order of preference: Bass...Upright and/or fretless bass would be great but standard electric bass is fine, percussion/congas/drums, woodwind player, keyboards.

Influences:

Metheny, Oregon, Sting, Paul Simon
