Friends in music,
I am a freelance guitarist/indie record producer based in Los Angeles, CA.
I do sightread, play all styles and play related doubles such as acoustic, banjo and mandolin etc.
I enjoy doing session and live work of all kinds and am always looking to work with new singers, songwriters, composers and producers who are passionate about what they are doing.
I have my own studio, "The Green Room" where I now do a lot of my session work and producing (live and via the internet). Please visit www.myspace.com/troydexterproducer for more info on the studio.
My soon to be released original project is in the style of early Larry Carlton, Robben Ford and Jeff Beck.
For studio sessions and/or live bookings please email me at [email protected] or message me here on myspace.
Enjoy the tunes on this page and I will be posting more songs from my new CD very soon!
BTW, I am VERY happily married and have 3 brilliant kids!
Thanks for visiting!
