It's Always a Better Day with Guitarist Allen Hinds
Allen has a touch that most guitarists would kill for. Growing up in Auburn, Alabama and utilizing influences ranging from Wayne Shorter to the Beatles, Duane Allman to Allan Holdsworth, his style is exciting and eclectic. He has performed and/or recorded with jazz and R&B luminaries including Randy Crawford, Gino Vannelli, Patti Austin, Roberta Flack, BeBe & CeCe Winan, Hiroshima, The Crusaders, Bobby Caldwell, James Ingram, Stevie Wonder, Jon Waite, Joan Baez and many others. Allen Hinds was exposed to blues and R&B at an early age. Moving into jazz and fusion in his teens, he attended Berklee College of Music.
Shortly after he moved to Los Angeles on a scholarship through Guitar Player Magazine to attend Musician's Institute, where he has remained on staff to the present. Hinds has 6 solo albums under his name. His version of Michael McDonald's "Keep Forgettin" is still getting airplay as we speak. Besides a solo career and being a regular featured artist in Guitar Techniques, the Guitarist and other magazines, Allen has instruction books available "Liquid Legato" M.I. Hal Leonard, "Melodic Improv" on TrueFire and and "fusion blues soloing" and the NEW "Modern Blues Slide Guitar."
