Jamie King was born for the rock ‘n’ roll stage. Having first picked up the guitar at 11 years old, upon hearing Bands such as the Beatles, the Rolling Stones, Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band & Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers, he knew that he could not be just a spectator but rather a performer.

When he’s not laying down the rock solid bass guitar foundation for Los Angeles-based rock ‘n’ roll band “Jed’s A Millionaire”, He’s entertaining crowds with his own unique brand of acoustic rock ‘n’ roll… Acoustic rock ‘n’ roll with soul, as it’s been described.

Singer/songwriter Al Barnes hails from a small town in Minnesota called Elbow Lake. When he was 14, he got a guitar for Christmas and instantly became obsessed. He taught himself how to play, quit sports and formed a band with his buddies called NotWithstanding. He played around the Midwest for a decade; even a stint on the Warped Tour. 

He decided to move to San Diego in 2017 and recorded his debut folk album "Out of Place" with a bunch of raw and heartfelt songs he had written. Over the next two years he played a lot of shows while writing new music for his next album called Northern Nostalgia (released in 2019). 

He self produces his music and doesn’t use pitch correction in any of his songs. Follow him on Spotify as he plans to start working on his upcoming third studio album this spring!

WINTERHAWK was formed in late 1992 by founding member, Guitarist/Songwriter Mark Carrillo, who had the idea of putting together an “all originals” band. Tired of playing other peoples music he recruited the talents of other musicians with a similar vision. 2 years later Bassist/Guitarist Sam Hornedo joined and the rest, as they say, is history. As well as being good friends, the two have formed a unique collaborative team of song writing and arranging with a lot of attention placed on finding the right harmonies. After 10 years of exploring the acoustic boundaries of an Acoustic duo Winterhawk has returned its roots of a four piece band format with the added members of Alex Jed Sejera and Steve Satnick on bass/guitar and drums/percussion respectively. Winterhawk also enjoys the occasional contributing vocals of Sam’s daughter Leia Hornedo who adds another dimension to their vocal centric sound. The band takes the listener through the dips and valleys of rock/blues with the flavorful tones of alternative country rock with a latin spin. The musical journey is routinely marked by the unmistakable harmonies of Mark Sam, and Leia which brings a special and unique vocal dynamic rounding out WINTERHAWK's sound.http://Winterhawkmusic.com/

About Me

I have been playing professionally for over 45 years. In addition to playing the guitar I also play piano and bass guitar but by far, the acoustic guitar is my favorite.  

My guitar style is easy background listening music with a wide range of styles including country, Southern rock, classic rock, R&B and classical.  My song selection varies from artists like Dire Straits, The Beatles, Stevie Wonder, Louie Armstrong, The Bee Gees, Chet Atkins, Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs, Extreme, The Police, Sting, The Animals, Eagles, Enya, Michael Buble’ and many more.  I record all of my background instruments for each song so the song will be as close to the original as possible.

You can make requests for songs that will match your event. I hope you will listen to the recorded songs on this website to get an insight into what my arrangements sound like. So whether it's happy hour, a wedding or private party, I can help you make your event a special remembrance for your guests.
