Guido's Hand

About Me

Guido’s Hand hails from Atlanta Georgia, though they were educated at Valdosta State University. With extensive musical schooling, one can be certain that the musicians have the instrumental technique to play complex progressive rock and fusion. They fuse this skill with the energy of modern rock, with a dash of folk influence to top it all off. The final result of this musical melting pot is an energetic sound that isn’t afraid to rock out and flex some muscle while simultaneously peeling the paint off the walls in 13/8.
