I was recently invited to go see some bands play as part of the Orange County Music Awards competition. What are the Orange County Music Awards you ask? I had never heard of it, and I grew up in Orange County! So I went and took along my pen and paper, ready to jot down my notes. This is what I found out. The Orange County Music Awards is a best of Orange County competition to showcase local independent bands and solo artists who either live or work in Orange County, California.

A unique solo acoustic concert, that’s what the billboard on the 91 freeway said as I drove past it every night on the way home from work. I didn’t know much about Aaron Lewis other than he is the lead singer of Staind, a band with a taste of 80’s hard rock, 90’s grunge and current alternative rock sounds. I was intrigued by the prospect of hearing how this would translate into a solo acoustic show, so I had to go check it out…

I’m strolling along the beach in front of Marriott’s Waiohai resort at Poipu, when I look up and see a local sitting there playing a guitar. Being a guitar player myself, I have to stop and listen. ‘I can never pass up the opportunity to listen to live music, no matter what kind.’ Anyway, he’s playing a real good slack-key style and using some very interesting open tunings…

Magic in a Can!

Painting a guitar with a spray can? It doesn’t seem very professional, it doesn’t even sound like it would work. Now I’ve heard that Eddie Van Halen painted his own guitar with plain old bicycle paint, so why cant anyone do it? I’ve been bored with look of some of my guitars lately, so I thought “why not?” So I decided to take a deeper look into the concept…
