Artist Profile
In a career spanning close to 30 years, Ned Selfe has been striving to expand the boundaries of the steel guitar. He played with jazz, blues, country and swing bands before putting steel at the forefront of the award nominated pop rock band Robin & The Rocks. In the early '90s he began experimenting with traditional slide instruments and MIDI technology. Inspired by a project for Stephen Hill of Hearts of Space, he composed his first solo effort, "Glaciers Come, Glaciers Go", a unique confluence of rock roots and new age instrumental ambiance. His second CD "Errands In Paradise", continues that exploration of melody, sound, and rhythm.
