Curtis is a power trio featuring original music that is a Captivating Mix of Instrumental Rock, Jazz and Surf. Curtis Fornadley, "a guitar slinger with a worldwide view and the technical ability to explore it" (Music Connection), is a native of southern California. His band, Rob Chismar (drums) originally from Detroit and Dave Hill (bass) from Seattle have lived in Los Angeles long enough to call it home.
Curtis Fornadley was selected as on of 10 finalists in Guitar Player Magazine’s "Guitar Hero 2007" competition.
The music of Curtis is unique; each tune is different from the next, yet there is a common thread that ties them all together: virtuosity, soulful playing and great melodies. The guitar is front and center, but the variety of tones and styles allow it to be enjoyed by people other than guitar players. Curtis has great musicianship AND great tunes.
