Eric Denton + Musician in Amarillo, TX

SEEKING

ABOUT

I play power rock music that is guitar heavy and I play lead guitar with an unique style. I love the blues as well as classical music and fusion.
I have played with Tung N Gruve, Drastic Mezures and
Sticks & Stones.
I was lucky enough to play a show in Tesla. In various bands, I've opened for Ratt, Dokken, Saxon, Bowling for Soup, The Toadies, Firehouse, Quiot Riot, C.C. Deville, Frank Hannon Band, Pat Travers, Siagon Kick, Jackyl and Queensryche. I grew up playing cello in orchestra in school as well as studying music theory. I feel taste is more important that flash but you should be able to throw down some shred if necessary.
I would like to tour with an established band.
I'm also willing to start
a new project.
I'm willing to relocate.
I also offer guitar lessons.
I build my own custom stomp boxes. An Overdrive, Compressor and Fuzz pedal. Contact me for more info.
The songs: In Vain and Boda were recorded at home with a
drum machine just for fun about 5 years ago.
The song Rocket Ride was recorded live at Creative Audio and mixed by Johnny Reverb, (Thanks dude).
I wrote Rocket Ride a year and a half ago while playing with a trio called Sticks And Stones and it was recorded with Rob Dahl on Bass guitar and Mike Kennedy on Drums, (Thanks Guys).
I enjoy playing a lot of different styles including Christian Praise and Worship
music to Black Sabbath.
Thanks
Eric Denton
