Charlie Rauh

Born: October 28, 1984

“Charlie Rauh plays guitar with a quiet intensity, each note and chord ringing with purpose,” writes Acoustic Guitar Magazine. “Rauh gives a gentle reminder that playing soft and slow can be more impactful than loud and fast.” With these words, we find ourselves in the company of a musician whose imprint is as delicate as it is indelible.

The wonders of Rauh’s upbringing seem directly encoded into the music he creates. Growing up in Huntsville, Alabama, he spent much of his time outside by his lonesome, humming melodies to scenes unfolding only in his mind. This cinematic consciousness carried over into the films of the 30s, 40s, and 50s beloved by his parents. An appreciation for that classic sound, and Duke Ellington as its shepherd, first drew him to pursue the clarinet and alto saxophone at age 11. But when Rauh asked his father—a guitarist who played regularly at their local church—to show him a few chords, those six versatile strings caught him in their net. “With the guitar,” Rauh recalls, “I could connect to all the different kinds of music I was listening to. My dad always had a way of bringing Americana elements and sparse finger-style technique together on the guitar—a sound that I absolutely loved (and still love). That early influence permeated all the styles of music I got into and truly acted as a foundation.” Said foundation would play host to a constellation of diverse touchpoints that included Django Reinhardt, Radiohead, and Patsy Cline as he sought stride as a songwriter in a chain of rock bands.

Mark Huotari

After years of playing guitar, writing and recording music , I finally produced a CD called "KoMHtA" in 2010. KoMHtA is also the name of the fictitious band featured on MySpace adn Facebook. That stuff is just for fun; the important stuff is the music. In 2012, the seccond KoMHtA CD, called "Haiku Mortar" was released. The music draws from a wide variety of influences: rock, experimental, psychedelia; music and sounds from everywhere! Yes, jazz too. For me, my music helps me flee from the ordinary. Hopefully, it will for you too! The songs are usually instrumental, though when the mood strikes, spoken word can be heard. I hope that you enjoy the music, there is more to come.
