Album Notes

KC Craine is an acoustic guitarist from Portland, Oregon. "Second Wind" features smooth fingerstyle instrumental guitar compositions perfect for relaxing on Sunday morning with a cup of tea or easing the rush-hour commute during the working week. A former student of Grammy-winning fingerstyle wizards Doug Smith and Mark Hanson, KC's style is both understated and lyrical. This CD showcases some of his finest fingerstyle work.

A veteran musician best known for leading the San Francisco bay area band "KC Craine and the Conditions" in the mid-80's, KC shared the stage with other well-known power-pop stalwarts like Huey Lewis and the News, Greg Khin and, Eddie and the Tide. During that time, KC won several songwriting awards and eventually was lured to Los Angeles with hopes of a major-label deal. After an ill-fated stint with a label in Hollywood, KC returned to his roots in Oregon, started a family, and began to devote his attention to solo acoustic guitar.

Now, after a 10 year hiatus, "Second Wind" marks his return to music. Elegantly recorded, this CD finds KC exploring the peaceful soul of acoustic fingerstyle guitar with an entirely renewed musical spirit.
