About Me

“Acoustic music that is upbeat yet mellow” best describes the sound of the UNSTRUNG HEROS. The mix of Folk, Bluegrass, Blues and some modern hits will entertain people of all ages. Vocal harmonies soar over classic string-band instrumentation. UNSTRUNG HEROS have been recording and performing throughout New Mexico and Colorado. The top Bluegrass Band at the 2005 Santa Fe Bluegrass Festival is now looking forward to increasing its live performance schedule. We are currently working on another recording project that will surely excite music fans.Jon Gold has been playing guitar, dobro and singing in various bands and solo since the college days. He works in the recording industry and is the owner of Taos’ premier recording facility, formerly Dead Horse Studio, now Gold Mine Audio & Mastering. Jon is the primary song writer in the band. He has been writing many songs for this band. His exciting vocals, both lead and harmony and his quality work on the six and 12 string and dobro are sure to delight. Bob Pace is good humored and always there with a tale to tell the crowd. “The Pacemaker” keeps the rock solid foundation for the band on the upright bass. Bob has studied with many great bass players. He can share a good joke with the audience and he’ll sing ya some tunes too. Bob can talk to dogs.Justin Dean has classic roots in the violin and fiddle tradition. Multi instrumentalist, singer/songwriter. He adds great harmonies and vocal work to the Unstrung sound.Rob Watt has been singing since church choir days, his tenor voice fills in the bands vocal sound.
