about

SLASH is a rhythm guitar album. Named after my mentor Bernie Hannon's term for the style in which I play - thin pick, palm muting, and plenty of drive - this album is a joyous exploration of the different ways that one accompanist's style can interact with a wide variety of musicians and styles. Recorded in the spring and summer of 2022, Slash contains twenty duets with some of the best melody players the Pacific Northwest has to offer.

Many thanks to:
All the musicians who came out and played on this album. Some of you are old friends, some new; but all of you brought your own personal touch to this album, and it was a delight to play with you all.
My dad, Arthur Sturbaum, for playing on this album, and for giving me my first music lessons all those years ago.
Amy Bogard, for the beautiful album art.
The Kickstarter backers who brought this project to life and made sure that the score of musicians who lent their abilities to this album were fairly compensated.
Brian Lindsay, for excellent advice, killer fiddling, trusted ears, and generally being the best partner in crime a goob could ask for.
Rae Eaton, for everything.
