Brian Kahanek releases new album

Guitar Hero II and Sidewindermusic Records recording artist, Brian Kahanek, contributor of the widely successful song, “Gemini” releases his new CD today, One True Thing. The new recording is available online for immediate download and can be purchased at briankahanek.com, CD Baby, iTunes, Rhapsody and anywhere else fine music is sold. One True Thing, Kahanek’s third release on Sidewindermusic Records, is destined to be a classic and marks his ascension into the realm of the world’s most well respected guitarists and solo artists.

Brian Kahanek and his song, “Gemini” have been catapulted into the spotlight by the amazing success of the Guitar Hero II video game. “Gemini” is featured in the coveted unlock position and is now the inspiration of many aspiring guitarists, as evidenced by the numerous postings on Youtube and the countless discussions throughout social media networking channels.
For the new recordings, Kahanek has teamed up with the legendary Dave Concors to mix the new tracks. Concors’ mixing background includes Michael Jackson’s Thriller, Billy Idol’s Charmed Life and Whiplash Smile, The Clarke/Duke Project, and soundtracks for blockbuster movies such as The Breakfast Club, Top Gun and Scarface. Together, the two deliver a final product that is paralleled by nothing on the market today.

As Kahanek puts it: “this is the moment I have been waiting for all my life. With One True Thing I feel like I have grown into my skin and I can trust my instincts to take me where I want to go musically.” The new recording features 10 new songs that simply ooze guitar tones and lyrics demonstrating the wide breadth and skill set of Kahanek’s talents and maturity. The new recording combines elements of rock, blues and country into a collection that weaves in and out of styles that fans call reminiscent of Jimi Hendrix, ZZ Top, Eric Clapton and Stevie Ray Vaughan. While not simply duplicating what has been done in the past, Kahanek is truly creating something fresh and new for the next generation.
