A refreshing new take on contemporary instrumental music, featuring pedal steel guitar and dobro in a context comparable to Craig Chaquico and the Dave Matthews band. Ned blends strong melodic elements into a skillful mix of acoustic and electronic instruments, with results that range from jazz, pop, and rock through ambient, blues, world and Hawaiian. Sophisticated production values and a sure sense of the craft of songwriting ensure that each composition has its own unique identity along with an indelible and identifiable stamp of originality.
Joining Selfe on many of the tracks are some of the San Francisco Bay Area's strongest players, including guitarist Keith Allen (Steve Miller Band, Maria Muldaur, Norton Buffalo), saxophonist Bruce Unsworth (Pride & Joy), drummer/percussionists John Hanes (Engorged With Blood), Kevin Hayes (Robert Cray Band) and Chris Sandoval (Santana), and bassist Robin Sylvester (Phil Spector, Fleetwood Mac, Beach Boys).
