Details:
Key of Dreams⦠the dynamic, new, acoustic jazz fusion group is comprised of Eric Schultheis and Abe Wirth (guitars) with Doug Narry (percussion.) Intelligent and thought provoking, the melodies are embedded in lush, sonic soundscapes resulting from a seamless integration of Eric and Abeâs guitars. Set to an infectious, worldly, percussive groove the music captivates the senses of even the most discriminating listener.

Eric and Abe met while sitting-in at a local blues club in Portland, Oregon. Instantly recognizing the musical chemistry, they began playing, writing, recording and performing together. Upon the independent release of their self-titled, debut CD, Key of Dreams began receiving FM and Internet radio airplay as well as local and international sales and distribution.

Key of Dreamsâ second CD release "Unlocked" consists of 14 original, instrumental compositions. "We took our time on this one (about a year) writing, recording, mixing, and mastering it ourselves in our small studio. With the addition of Doug on percussion, and moving almost exclusively to classical guitars this has opened up a new direction for us that's fresh and exciting." The sound and style are unique - drawing from many types of music including traditional and new jazz, rock, classical, Flamenco, world, and funk. "Weâve been told we sound like Pat Metheny, Joe Satriani, and Ottmar Leibert, to name a few. That's a broad spectrum of artists to be compared to, which for us is good. Weâre not trying to sound like anyone else, or any particular style of music for that matter. We just play and let it happen, which is very cool because there are really no boundaries. We can change the tempo, timing, tuning, key and overall feel whenever we want, and we do!â
