New Instrumental Album... "Love Can Be A Lot Like Falling Down" available everywhere! Just because the labels don't get it, doesn't mean you shouldn't be able to get it! A lot went into this album! It was my first in forever that I got to be the guitar player & not have to cover vocals! I've had to cover vocals on 4 straight albums, since haven't found a singer yet, when I'm a guitar player that does the main backup vocal harmonies in bands, I'm not a lead singer, very much a guitar player, so that energy from the freedom creatively, to write a really cool instrumental album, really took off!

I got to deep dive into playing my guitar during these sessions, and I had these moments in the zone that were inspired!! That rush of getting fully back to guitar for me, as a guitar player, a musician & a writer, was an amazing experience artistically!! When it comes to guitars, I can stand on my own as good at what I do, as anyone around at what they do in rock guitar right now. Instrumentals are not a side thing for me, they have very much been a specialty of mine since i was a teenage guitar player.

This album is a lot of fun to listen to, and I am Very Happy with it from the opener "Thrill Ride" to the closer It's a cool ride, that was beyond fun to record! Independent bands & artists can bring you real deal label quality albums, that the labels won't! All about the music!! West Coast Rock that Rocks!!

"Waiting On The Light" took a while to complete & release, but it's finally here & it sounds great! This album is all about serious band chemistry, overall album sound, and the connected story that this album is, with each song being like a chapter if it was a book. This album was definitely a satisfying project for me as a writer & producer! Album Links... https://release.landr.com/991061393258

“(Leta) How would you describe your sound to someone who has never heard your music before?" (Tim Erickson) "It’s West Coast Groove Rock is what I call it, and it’s a combination of a lot of styles and eras mixed, since i like to write with as many colors to choose from as possible, to really bring the songs to life! It’s a mix of Rock, Blues Rock, Funk Rock, color chords, big grooves, and an edge and soulfullness that’s 100% real! You don’t just hear the difference between my stuff, and most stuff out there, you really feel it!” - LetaLota

“(Leta) What tools, instruments, or software are essential in your creative process?" (Tim Erickson) "I have recorded several albums with a shockingly low amount of gear, since i learned how to record in big studios with a raw live band feel production style, and I absoulutely am not a fan of over processing and pitch correctors and all that. Just natural organic guitars, bass, drums, vocals, with band chemistry and going for takes that capture the right feel for the song, not perfect takes that sound sterile, I like real charachter and expression you can feel! ” - LetaLota
