Having relocated, I now have my new studio up and running and just completed the third song for my next studio project.  One song in particular you might be interested in:  “Why Am I Still Here?”.  

This song was inspired by the passing of my cousin. While attending the memorial service, I was made aware of a poem Brian wrote, and which was being distributed at the service.  I offered to put the poem to song and happy to say that the song was just released about a month ago as a single. If…

Hi, already working on the next project and just completed the first song. Have 2 others near completion, but had a little voice issue this summer. Improving and should get back on track. What is on track. Typically 2 years from start to finish. Wish me luck. Also on a sad note. My Long time guitar teacher John Garcia and well know blues man passed away last October. We all miss him very much. Search for him on YouTube. Cheers, and stay tuned.

Please to announce the release of my latest CD: Madness & Metaphors (6016). For this project I was fortunate to be supported by long-time producer and musical wizard, Terry Carleton (Bones and Knives Studio), along with cameos by Jeff Leeds, Henrik Martin, and Brian Shimada. Cover art by Jan Rice. Hope you have a chance to listen to it. Very much appreciated The following is a short description Cheers, Guy "Madness & Metaphors", the sixth album release from Guy Agnew, continues thematically from his…

Hi everyone Been a little quite, but making progress on my current project Currently finishing up the last song (13 I believe)for the next CD and just beginning the packaging and design process for the cover and booklet. I have once again decided to use original art for the cover (artist to be named shortly), although not yet sure of the theme or CD title. Once recording and mixing are complete, I will order the songs and send off to be mastered. This phase of production can take up to 2-3 months.…

My 5th album, Promises and Glue, has just been released on CDBaby. Release for digital distribution and streaming sites may take a little longer. The CD include 11 new and original songs along with booklet containing lyrics. For this project I decided to do the artwork myself, for better or worse. Please feel free to comment on both the songs and the artwork Here is a short review of the album Cheers, “An eclectic mix of eleven tracks exploring the different facets of the human experience. Held…

Happy New Year to all and trust it will be a peaceful one Just started recording the last song for this project. I would like the new album to be released in late spring at the latest and as with the others, will be available on CD Baby and most downloads sites. It’s taken a little longer than I would have liked, but it’s ready when it’s ready In the progress of putting a band together for local gigs. Current plans are for a mixture of originals and covers. Will keep you posted on this. Just…

Completed 6 songs and finishing up number 7 for the next album/ CD. All is pretty much going well and getting an opportunity to use new instruments in my collection If you did not know, at the heart of my music is to use "real" and unusual instruments (new and vintage)for recording. I try to limit the "software" effects as much as possible. However, every now and then you need to do something wacky Just added a few new guitars to my arsenal: reissue Eko 295 and 1960s Eko 500 v4. maybe I should add a…

Hope you enjoyed a safe and peaceful holiday From a song perspective, nearing the halfway point for the next album. Of course this means virtually nothing when predicting a completion date. The new project has started out with a little more acoustic foundation, but that should not be used to predict the future. Too early to say For the guitar enthusiasts, I added a few new vintage guitars to my studio collection. One is a Welson 1960ish hollow body electric made in Italy with 3 PUs. Maybe I should add…

No time off between projects. I'm back in the studio working on the next album. I currently have 2 songs completed and starting a third. Seems I have a lot of material. Also driving this process is that my house was partially flooded by a plumbing failure while I was traveling last June. This put my studio out of action and I'm trying to not lose too much time. Hopefully, my studio will be back up and running by the end of September. Good news. None of my equipment or instruments were damaged Cheers,…
