US composer and musician Johannes Luley is probably best known as the driving force of US band Moth Vellum, who released a highly heralded debut album in 2008 and then more or less disappeared.
The band formally disbanded in 2010, and since then Johannes has been hard at work contuning his musical escapades as a solo artist. His first solo album “Tales From Sheepfather’s Grove” appeared in January 2013.
“Qitara”, the new solo album by Perfect Beings guitarist and producer Johannes Luley has arrived. Featuring Katisse Buckingham (Herbie Hancock), Michael Hunter (Lenny Kravitz) and Otmaro Ruiz (John McLaughlin). Special guest: Ryan Downe (Moth Vellum).
