Ace guitarist Rob Metz started his musical journey at the age of 15. Encouraged by his mother, Metz was given a used Kramer Striker and went on to win his high school’s Battle of the Bands contest six months later.

Soon after, Metz discovered artists such as Joe Satriani and Steve Vai, and found that guitar oriented instrumental music was best suited for his growing creative vision.

In 2006, Metz released his debut CD, Legion of Dreams, and introduced audiences to the new face of guitar oriented instrumental music. A personal album, Metz described it as “a voyage into mystic melody”, delivering a masterful blend of rock, bluesy experimentation, with a dash of industrial-strength shredding for good measure. Audience feedback has been outstanding.

Metz’s follow up CD entitled, “Axis Shift” was released in June 2008 at a concert at The House of Blues in Cleveland Ohio . It promises to continue the glorious ride of this virtuoso's adventure.

Whether live or recorded, Rob Metz is not to be missed!
