All music by Eugene Chadbourne
Eugene Chadbourne was born in Mt. Vernon, New York, USA in 1954. He grew up in Boulder, Colorado where he was exposed to an incredible range of music including locally based composers and performers such as avant garde composers Tod Dockstoder and George Crumb and guitarist Tommy Bolin. He began playing guitar in bands as a teenager, at first garage rock and then strongly influenced by Jimi Hendrix and the Mothers of Invention. He released his first album of solo guitar in 1977 and became a professional musician shortly thereafter. He performs and records an unparalleled range of styles–jazz, rock, country and western, classical from Bach to Messiaen–on guitar and banjo and as a vocalist.
