Out Of The Shell

Curtis Fornadley, "a guitar slinger with a worldwide view and the technical ability to explore it" (Music Connection), is a native of southern California. His band, Rob Chismar (drums) originally from Detroit and Dave Hill (bass) from Seattle have been in L.A. long enough to call it home. Curtis' self-titled debut CD (1998) and his second CD, "Room 137" (2001) "demonstrate the guitarist's impressive skills both as a guitar stylist and composer" (20th Century Guitar). His 2008 CD, Out Of The Shell, features a title track that landed him a spot as one of the 10 finalists in Guitar Player Magazine's Guitar Hero 2007 competition. Out Of The Shell is Curtis' fourth album release, and is a triumphant milestone for his past decade in music. Listeners will find the tracks aggressive and edgy, while compositionally memorable and interesting. Watch the video here.
