Whether ripping through a hyper charged 16th note jazz tinted rock solo, or delicately weaving through a mind melding maze of Bach tainted chord progressions, Carl Roa's innate ability to balance musicality and technique has delighted many music fans worldwide. Receiving accolades from the likes of Guitar World, Progression, and Billboard magazines, Carls unique and diverse playing style has put him in the forefront of todays progressive rock and fusion movement. Fusing elements of rock, jazz, classical, country and blues has allowed Carl to develop an interesting and radical hybrid style not often displayed by today's modern guitarists.
With over 22 years of playing experience, Carl is an endorsee for Seymour Duncan, GHS Strings, Tech 21 NYC and Fortin Amplification.

THE NEW CARL ROA CD HAS JUST BEEN RELEASED! Carl Roa's cd "ETERNITY" is a solo project/ band CD featuring the talented guitarist (of "Magic Elf" fame) and his equally talented rhythm section featuring Joe Ferlito on bass guitar and Ricky Martinez on drums. The music and performances on the record hopefully will inspire listeners and bring happiness and joy to those who hear it. Carl, Joe, and Ricky are leaders in carrying the torch to preserve the feel and sound of those records from the peak era of 70's Progressive/Classic Rock. Thanks for your support!
