I was born in Regina, Saskatchewan and raised in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. My Dad gave me a Broadway Harmony guitar when I was ten years old and taught me three or four chords. I took it from there and for the next four years I took guitar lessons, and used to sit in my room singing and playing country and rock songs for hours every day. I also taught myself how to play the piano.
By Fifteen, I was in my Dad's band "Rambunctious" doing gigs as a special guest, and playing in other bands as well all thru high school. The main one was The Hornets.We did Beatles tunes as well as other British Invasion songs. After Graduation, we did a summer tour traveling thru BC. Then I joined a traveling retro band which played all over Canada for 18 months. After that I also fronted the Notables show band from time to time, and finally joined a surf band called The Bowery Boys. Then I joined Frank McCormack and the Country Macs, we were the house band for the Arlington Cabaret in Vancouver for nearly two years.Then I did two live dinner theatre productions in Sask. And finally my current band called Curtis Cowan & Flyer.We play Originals,plus classic rock and some country rock.
The sample song is from my new CD called "Full of Surprises",produced by Frank Ludwig and Jamie Anstey,recorded at Quantum Sound in Vancouver,BC,Canada,thru Hill Music Canada.

I’ve been a music journalist for more than 10 years. Over the years, many artists and managers have asked me what the best way to break into the European music market is.
Here are some things you can do:
Publish artist press releases, news, and tour dates to the CountryHome Forum on MySpace, http://groups.myspace.com/CountryHomeMagazine , CountryHome Forum is part of CountryHome, http://www.CountryHome.de , Germany's Premier Country Music Online Magazine. Everything you publish to the CountryHome Forum will be published in my weekly Newsletter which has over 80,000 readers.
Send me CDs and DVDs for review and set up an artist interview with me. All reviews and interviews will be submitted to the magazines I'm writing for. More information for which magazines I'm writing can be found at http://www.MySpace.com/ChristianLamitschka
Upload artist videos to http://www.MyVideo.de and http://www.ClipFish.de . Both websites are like http://www.YouTube.com and uploading videos is free. The websites are completely in German. If you don’t speak German and need assistance, I will help you open an account and upload a video for 25 Euro. Each additional video upload for the same artist name and at the same video website is 10 Euro.
If you have more questions about the European music market or about any of the information I send to you today, please contact me at Ch.Lamitschka@t-online.de too.
