Static- From the Album: Solo Acoustic Guitar

From the live soundtrack for The Maine Frontier- available March, 2015

Supporting a Family- Music from the live presentation of The Maine Frontier

This is a sampler of music from the live version of The Maine Frontier. The music consists of electric guitar (Sumner McKane) and bass (Josh Robbins), a plethora of effects pedals, and guitar loops. The percussive sounds are also loops- tapping, clicking, toggling, and banging on the electric guitar. 
The record was recorded- in the studio- to sound the same as our live performance.

SAMPLER of the Soundtrack for the live version of The Maine Frontier

Sampler from a record of mostly electric guitar tracks- minimal and bare. Ideas that I've had and liked for years and years, and that I continue to play, but haven't found a nice comfortable space for them among drums, bass, and bigger production.

"Allot Upon" Sampler

In 1900, Elmer McCurdy left his home in Bangor, Maine, to become a bumbling train robber in the West. His career as a criminal lasted one third the time of his career as a corpse... on the road... 
Elmer's story is truly unbelievable. Just when you think Elmer can't be anymore entertaining, he gets shot in a shootout, then strangely becomes entertainment for an entire country...

Elmer McCurdy- Bumbling Criminal/Celebrity Mummy

Henry Plummer left Addison, Maine, in 1852, and traveled west to make his fortune in the gold mines... 
To some, he was thought of as a murderous, villainous, outlaw; yet to many, he was a trustworthy lawman, the marshal of Nevada City, California, and sheriff of Bannack, Montana. 
In 1863, with the rise in murders and robberies in the gold fields of Montana, came a rise in Montana Vigilante justice, of which Henry Plummer and his supposed band of outlaws, aptly named "The Innocents", would experience first-hand on the very gallows that Plummer himself had built as Sheriff of Bannack Montana.
