ABOUT JT
As an established artist, musician, producer, and educator, I’ve enjoyed playing with and producing artists from all walks of life, including Alternative, Country, Funk, Hip-Hop, R&B, Smooth Jazz, and Techno, and been fortunate to have toured as lead guitarist for Tower of Power and with Mickey Thomas and ‘Starship’, while endorsing a number of cutting-edge companies like Dunlop, Fender, and Monster Cable. I learned the fundamentals of playing guitar at age 9 from blind teacher and mentor, Jim Phillips, aka “Blindgym,” joining my first band at age 11. In 1985, I joined Lydia Pense & ‘Cold Blood’, a popular East Bay band from Bill Graham’s San Francisco label. Today, I spend time as President of House of Hansen Productions, LLC, where I am responsible for all music production and client services at The Track Shack Studios in Sacramento, CA, and I perform regularly with various artists & bands at venues all over the Bay Area.
Fun stuff! Thanks for visiting my site.
