Caleb Amelunke has performed live over 600 times in the past 7 years and has no desire to slow down. Whether it is in a solo classical setting or with a rock band, sharing music with audiences is what is most important to him. 
In his band, Old School Hype, he and his collaborators create music that focuses on blending bluesy riff rock with energetic indie textures that keeps audiences bobbing their heads and moving. The Denver-based band has toured the west coast two times and is currently in the process of writing their second album.
Caleb’s affection for the guitar began at age eight when a friend taught him to play “Smoke on the Water,” creating another victim of the old cliché. Throughout his teens he performed weekly with a cover band in bars around southeast Missouri.
It was not until later that Caleb began playing the classical guitar. As a junior in high school, he enrolled in Southeast Missouri State University’s music program and began studying solo and ensemble guitar repertoire. After graduating high school, he moved to Denver, where he currently attends the Lamont School of Music at the University of Denver. He also spent a semester studying at the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland in Glasgow. 
In his free time, Caleb enjoys attempting to entertain those around him with any goofy joke that pops into his mind. This follows him into any musical setting that he finds himself in, whether it is the comical levity that accompanies his performing or the sometimes unbearable stage banter in between songs with his band, audiences are always left smiling.
