Haunted Gauntlet is a songwriter, instrumentalist, music producer & visual artist from Omaha, NE. HG collects & hoards sounds like he does VHS tapes & blends all his influences to make a special mix of emotional & potent essence for his cousins, lovers & dreamers. A collaborator at heart producing for his award winning hip hop group M34N STR33T & many other singers & rappers over his career - yet he is off on his own this adventure, taking the mic, his guitar & samplers with him on the road.

On his newest solo album “Pour Lonesome Cowboys (yee haw)” HG explores the concept of emotional futurism lyrically while producing hooky, modern bedroom pop soundscapes that range from dark, electronic & heavy to bubblegum three chord bliss. Ride into the sunset of the present moment & explore this strange new world with your cousin HG by your side.

I record and mix at home. Enough material for now starting to not finish but,  just put it on here as is. I updated my my software and had to unload and transfer a number of tracks for back up. My old computer sits and make me sad to look at. Looking forward to more collaborations.
