Guitarist Eric Clemenzi is the guitar/bass/guitar enemble instructor at the Pingree School in Hamilton, Mass. He also teaches over 80 students in his private studio, plays in two bands (the prog rock driven Storms Approach, and acoustic duo Kangaralien) and still found the time to write, record and produce his jaw-dropping new album Basement Tapes - An 11-track absolute masterpiece that runs the gambit from flat out shred metal to jazz, fusion and everything in between.
Basement Tapes has something for everyone, not only is it full of guitar acrobatics, it's also, from start to finish, so well written that it's incredibly accessible to musicians and music fans alike. It's rare, and refreshing, to listen to an instrumental album with such an impressive mix of solid songwriting and technical guitar playing, and the end result is easily one of the best albums to hit your CD player this year. - CQ / Sevenstring.org - sevenstring.org(Chris Quigley)

Bio

Storms Approach is a five-piece prog-metal band that is the loud project for the Kangaralien members. Fronted by a female vocalist, Storms has been compared to Lacuna Coil with a hint of Dream Theater.
As a solo artist, Eric specializes in instrumental guitar featured music. All of the music you hear in the EPK was recorded and mixed by Eric. If you are looking for specific guitar-oriented music for tv, movies, or other licensing purposes, feel free to contact him with the specific requirements.
