Allen Hinds: guitar9 interview

Allen Hinds:

I just finished my second CD with Gino Vannelli, this is a CD of all his hits, from "Brother To Brother" and before, and after, but with new arrangements. It should be great, and he is planning a tour in the U.S. in the fall. Got some Crusaders (Wayne Henderson) gigs, and a couple with saxophonist Jeff Kashiwa. I am headlining a Festival in Portland with my own band in July.

I am always working on new stuff. Now I'm working on a CD of all bottleneck/vibey stuff to shop to T.V. and movie folks. I do some sessions, I work at MI a couple days a week, and I'm getting ready to see if a publicist can help get my stuff out there.

When I am not holding a guitar I am holding a tennis racket - big diversion from the music world, and a very welcome one. Sometimes, you need balance.
