Stick Man

Stick Man can be thought of as Colorado based guitarist Neil Haverstick's electric companion to his groundbreaking 1997 acoustic release "Acoustic Stick". Here we have nine all instrumental tracks in which he uses 19 tone and 34 tone electric guitars, 19 tone and 34 tone basses and more 19 tone and 34 tone acoustic guitars to facilitate his mind-bending compositions and ear-catching sonorities. Accompanied by Ernie Crews on drums and percussion, Haverstick gets a chance to show a heavier side on tracks such as the opening "Breakfast Squids". You'll quickly hear why Westword stated, "Musicians, critics and listeners see Haverstick as either a masterful contributor of new music or an abrasive and irritating noise that won't go away," and that Guitar Player magazine quipped, "Bold and daring, Haverstick ventures into distant aural galaxies." Kick in the warp drive and tune into Stick Man for challenging microtonal music.
