Arda Bagcioglu

My name is Arda Bagcioglu. I am a guitar player and a guitar teacher. I have been playing guitar since I was a kid. I listen to all kinds of music but I am mainly a big fan of rock, blues and country music. I have played with many bands in my hometown including "Blufunk", "Blues Market" and "Rock 'N' Roll Fantasy" to name a few. Also, I have played on some demos and studio recordings as well as scoring some locally produced movies. In 2000 I played at the Turkish Eurovision qualifications. Between 2001-2007 I performed with the bands "Soul Stuff" and "Rock Stuff" in different cities in Turkey including Ankara, Istanbul and Eskisehir. We were playing rock, blues and soul. Also we have played on tv shows similar to the "Jay Leno Show". Occasionally we were playing at parties and festivals including the "Harley Davidson" festival. Sometimes we opened up for great bands such as "Uriah Heep", "Chuck Berry" and "The Blues Brothers". I recently moved to Charlotte NC, USA and i am looking for opportunities in the music business, jam sessions and anything belonging to rock and roll :) For the moment i am playing with Wink Keziah and Hickry Hawkins band. Along with all this I am giving private guitar lessons and trying to write my own songs; most of which are instrumentals. Peace, Love, and Rock 'N Roll Forever...
