Acoustic Songs about love, integrity, Hank Williams and faith by singer-songwriter Chance Gardner. Chance's playing is like old-style Hawaiian Slack key (open tunings) meets modern folk-rock and his voice is like gravel in a silk bag.
Bio / Background
Multi-award winning blues and rock recording artist Chance Gardner steps out in his first solo acoustic album. Heartfelt performance and professionalism is what this emotion-packed CD is all about.
Slack Key guitar is a Hawaiian name for open tunings (ie: slacken the keys or strings). As legend goes, when the Spaniards came to Hawaii the natives (who are very musically talented) mimicked the music they heard but since no one taught them how to tune the guitar like the Spaniards they made up their own tunings which mostly sounds like open chords when you strum it without making a chord (ie: open tunings). Early blues artists used open tunings for loudness and also "bottleneck" slide guitar (from Robert Johnson to Leadbelly to John Lee Hooker). Music from Joni Mitchell, Crosby Stills and Nash, and many others also used open tunings in rock. On this CD Chance uses that Hawaiian influence on his own acoustic style and calls it Modern Slack Key.
