About Me

Over the next couple of months I will be posting songs that will be released on my new album Basement Tapes. I hope to have the CD finished before the end of the year. The album will feature songs that I have written over the past four years. There will be vocal tracks(crazy, I know), instrumental tracks(of course), a guest appearance by guitar virtuoso Mattias IA Eklundh, and tracks from my old instrumental prog band Quandry. Stay tuned! If you are interested in guitar or bass lessons, head on over to ericclemenzi.com for more details.
