Band Members: Many years ago David Sadler and Gavin Thompson began taking the necessary steps to parlay a common interest into something more, something of substance.
In 2002 they began producing music while feeding off of each other’s enthusiasm. A unique sound was emerging from a combination of non-sampled and sampled beats. After years of practice “Vintage†(Gavin) and “Sadler aka The GMA†(David) were beginning to find their form.
The opportunity to accomplish something they had not imagined prior to 2002 was beginning to become an apparent reality. With a mass of hardware and a home studio capable of producing professional sound quality, Vintage and Sadler decided to work towards an epic and unparalleled album. An album to be heralded by a paper of a Herald-like stature.
Self Taught worked feverishly and soon accumulated a library of material to rival that of their local book drive. In late 2006, after three years of back-breaking work, their debut album Arrival was completed.
Since the album, the group has performed a string of shows culminating most recently with performances at the Yale with live blues band Surveillance. With Surveillance backing them and the introduction of a new member, soul singer Jay Robillard, Self Taught is becoming an act that you can not afford to miss.
