   About Karl Fortier
Karl released his CD "Just A Whisper Away" in 2004. Karl wrote all of the songs, and performed all of the vocals, as well as most of the instruments on that disc. In 2005 his song "Let Her Fly" was included on a compilation CD of independent artists that was distributed to indie-friendly radio stations across the country. As a result "Let Her Fly" received some airplay, and DJ George Maida wrote: "One of the best guitar tones I've heard in a long time. Truly killer! Great, great song too." Karl also wrote and recorded several instrumental compositions for the soundtrack of the syndicated program "Your Brush With Nature," which aired on PBS stations across the country. Karl continues to write and record, with an emphasis on a roots-rock approach. Most recently he has written an acoustic ballad with Ron Baker, who produced and engineered "Just A Whisper Away." The new song is called "Still The Best Part." Check it out at http://www.myspace.com/synthignition

Just listened to the new studio version of "Drivin' Back Home." Sounds cleaner and packs a bigger punch. The guitar parts ROCK, as always. Can't wait to do some video stuff with it. We'll chat as we rewinds some field tapes tomorrow morning ;)
