There are not many young musicians nowadays that list the likes of Randy Rhoads, Mozart, Ritchie Blackmore, and Liberace as their top influences. And soon, the music world will learn that Damiano Christian is not your typical teenager rocker. At the time of this writing, Damiano is a 18-year-old guitar and piano virtuoso who hails from Middletown, Connecticut.
Last March Damiano and his band released a brand new 5-song EP entitled, Built In Good Value. Damiano says of this EP, “The songs on this new release were done the old school way. So no computers were used to play the music, we played all the instruments on the record. The best part of being involved in the mixing process was I could pick what I liked and basically mold the songs into what they are now. The guitar work I feel has improved my playing and developed my own style immensely. I actually was able to develop my solos into something instead of just going off and noodling. I feel as if I wrote my best work when I was in the studio compared to being at home and feeling like I’m forced to write.
After the show we’ll spin several tracks off that latest EP, Built In Good Value.
Tune in at 15:00 and 21:00 CET/ 9:00 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. EST this Friday to hear the show!
