About Me

My Name is Michael Beaulieu....I am a professional guitarist who was a guitar performance major at the Hartt School of Music. At that time, the Hartte School was in the top five music schools nationally along with Berkley and Juilliard. I studied classical guitar at the Hartt school for many years and during my stay I also found that my interests were much more diverse than the classical guitarist in which the Hartt School was making me into. My guitar professor/ teacher Alan Spriestersbach pointed out that I was caught in the mix and torn between the different worlds of electric guitar and classical guitar with a great talent and passion for recording and composition. Since then I have continued with my passion and use the tools in which the school gave me. Today I am mixing classical form into rock music and am currently putting a band together with keyboardist Eric Sudarsky. We have just written approximately one hour of music and are on a serious search of a schooled drummer and bassist to join us. If you know of anyone who is of the caliber in which we seek, please refer them to us for an audition. Our goals are to finish CD's and do shows wherever original music is intended to be heard. To the left I have included a decription of our music and interests. Thanks for reading my profile. Peace!Sincerely,Michael Beaulieu

Sounds Like: **New Videos Just Added** at video link above, please check'em out**To your right are some rough drafts of new music in which my keyboardist and I have just copy writed and are working on together. You will find that the songs are in the rawest form in which they are sometimes missing vocals, lead solos, bass and drums. This is how we write music. We usually get the rough draft complete and recorded as a reference then prctice each song and see how it develops. Once music is developed and mastered we make final recordings. We have been very careful to leave the music open for vocals and development. It is here for your listening pleasure and so that you can see how it will develop in the next months to come. Please do not critic material because it is in the beginning stages. Some say we sound like Dream Theater meets Rush but with a modern up to date sound. We do not think that we sound like anyone else. I guess we have to be compared to someone.......Its gotta be the big giant analog synth and vintage Marshall "Plexi" amp heads with Mesa Boogie sound that would make ones think that we sound like Rush meets Dream Theater. I tend to think that all the different styles of the past years great sound are incorperated in the music, but its bits and pieces mixed in with a newer sound. Think Alas to Yes.....
Record Label: Soon to be......currently getting ready to record.
Type of Label: None
