1998
The Hand Farm is an instrumental project featuring guitarist, Scott McGill. This is a quite impressive fusion of Jazz and Rock, and even a little bit of country influence. Each member of the band is quite adept at their instrument and the songs often run some interesting improvisations. Cut times, odd meters, and positively masterful playing; drawing on DiMeola, Holdsworth, and the Dregs will have most musicians dropping their jaws and saying "Wow"! However it might leave the average listener asking "What the hell is going on?" that is unless musical audiences are willing to open up their minds to the wider variations of musical possibilities. If you are ready, this 3-song EP is the one to get!
