Profile Information

About:

I am a guitarist with extensive Jazz, Folk, Rock, Blues and World music influences and experience. I am also a singer/songwriter, arranger and producer. My solo CD: "Voice of a Friend" and my duo CD with Harmonica Master Eddie Gordon: “Smokin’” are available at CDBaby.com.

Here at my.fresnoarts.net I have posted exclusive tracks from my upcoming release "Fingerpaint". I have also uploaded a couple songs I produced for my brother-in-law Greg Lawson. They are written about the genocide in Darfur and China's role.

Songwriters! If you have written a song and can sing it, I can find the chords for it. I can play all of the possible harmonies so you just have to tell me when it sounds right to you. I can even create sheet music for your song.

I have three different song production deals. 1) A barebones demo recording of my guitar and your voice. No frills very easy. 2) A full rhythm section: drums, bass, rhythm guitar and lead guitar under your voice. 3) Rhythm sectionand a session singer and/or instrumentalist (musician session fees not included). The tests and final versions are available as MP3 and on CDR.

A little history...

I sang in public for the first time at the age of 10 and played my guitar and sang at the McLane High Talent Show at 16. I played bass with the Carlson Brothers in Folly's Pool until 1976. I went to G.I.T. (Guitar Institute of Technology) in Hollywood in 1979 where I studied and played most American guitar styles. There were also classes in arranging, composition and orchestration. I started performing the greater Los Angeles area including a 4 year gig at Luigi's in Newport Beach. In 1986 I moved back to Fresno and soon met Eddie Gordon, a genius harmonica player and great musician. We played together for 15 years. Lately I've been playing with Violinist Patrick Contreras.

I teach classes for beginning guitar techniques for all ages, even kids as young as 6, at the California Arts Academy at 4750 N Blackstone. I teach more advanced techniques in private lessons there as well.
The website is www.calartsacademy.com. The phone number is 559-222-6539.

I also teach private lessons at Gottschalk’s Music Center in Old Town Clovis on Fridays and Saturdays.

Folk? whose folk? which folk? All folk!

Multi-ethnic Folk music should be a BIG thing in Fresno. Our talent pool is larger and more diverse than most places on earth. Call me, Steve Ono, to book a show at The Brick Wall @ JA Photography 559-307-3610

Whitney Steele w/ Justin Froese

I found a post on craigslist Fresno looking for a acoustic venue in Fresno a few days after the Fresno Folklore Society decided to open the Brick Wall. It seemed like serendipity to me. I checked out her myspace and called her up. We are the kick off of her Pacific Northwest Tour.

Whitney Steele won the best singer/songwriter, best pop single of the year, and best music video of the year at the 2008 Phoenix Music Awards. She has also been nominated for the Hollywood F.A.M.E. Awards and the Los… Continue

After hours Fresno discussion was fun also.
I was the bass player in The Rock Company,
which I think was just a short time
before Folly's Pool. (69-73 or so).
