Kevin Metzger

Born: April 24, 1993

“A spring-fed dive pool for the deep listener athirst.”

Kevin Metzger is an accomplished guitarist and multi-instrumentalist flying down the road through broad plains of fusion. On this journey, he expertly erects power lines strung to pillars of combusting jazz, meticulous progressive and psychedelic rock, honest Baroque era classical, and popular American folk songs. Flip the fuse and listen to it power up.

A playful mind, a musician’s artist; his music is built upon high level composition, deep reliance on improvisation, and paramount performance moments. His debut album Many Worlds, a collaboration with longtime friend R. Aaron Walters, blends jazz, classical, and rock influences into a deeply personal and emotionally resonant statement. Tracked live in Austin and completed in Nashville, the record moves fluidly between original compositions and reimagined works by Keith Jarrett, Jerry Garcia, Bach, and Jan Hammer. Across seven tracks, Metzger’s guitar voice shifts from lyrical restraint to angular intensity; grounded and supported by the duo’s deep sense of trust and shared musical language.

Bruce Arnold and John Gunther return with their Spooky Actions project, an inventive improvisational interpretation of musics not often tackled by jazz-based units. Having already rearranged the thorny intricacies of Webern and the soaring power of Native American melodies, here they address the haunting subtleties of early music, including variations on themes by Monteverdi, Dufay, and ...

Spooky Actions may seem an unusual name for a chamber quartet that makes serious study of music and interprets these thoughts with a unique spirit. The name is derived from a comment by Albert Einstein where he noted that certain seemingly unrelated objects could nevertheless exert a powerful influence upon each other. He called these relationships ...
