With rural parochial beginnings east of LA, kLutz established his voice through 12-string adaptions of late '60s / early '70s folk rock. Once plugged in, the power of classic rock gained center staqe in his expression, though summers still rang acoustic as he played in the outdoors of Yosemite Nat'l Park. Then came winters in the Old South where he imersed himself in the cultures of bluegrass and blues. Smitten with love and marrying, performing took a back seat to family life. Now, again, it's the MUSIC, the Voice of Creation. And your opportunity to be part of it.

Welcome! You are part of The kLutzterField Effect (Looking for Delicate Drums)
The artist is the creator of beautiful things. To reveal art and conceal the artist is art's aim. The critic is he who can translate into another manner or a new material his impression of beautiful things. The highest as the lowest form of criticism is a mode of autobiography. Those who find ugly meanings in beautiful things are corrupt without being charming. This is a fault. Those who find beautiful meanings in beautiful things are the cultivated. For these there is hope. They are the elect to whom beautiful things mean only beauty. There is no such thing as a moral or an immoral book. Books are well written, or badly written. That is all. ... The moral life of man forms part of the subject-matter of the artist, but the morality of art consists in the perfect use of an imperfect medium. No artist desires to prove anything. Even things that are true can be proved. No artist has ethical sympathies. An ethical sympathy in an artist is an unpardonable mannerism of style. No artist is ever morbid. The artist can express everything. Thought and language are to the artist instruments of an art. Vice and virtue are to the artist materials for an art. From the point of view of form, the type of all the arts is the art of the musician. From the point of view of feeling, the actor's craft is the type. All art is at once surface and symbol. Those who go beneath the surface do so at their peril. -Oscar Wilde
whats up klutz ..

As you may know, I am going back to Des Moines, Iowa in late October. I'll be helping my sister help our folks get through the winter. I may be back in Southern California next summer. It depends on how things go. I won't be teaching World Religions any more. But I will be testing water and selling water treatment systems for Rain Soft of Des Moines. Before I head out to Des Moines, I am taking a vacation. Actually, I am off work now. I'm flying to the Philippines right after Labor Day in September. I'll be visiting friends, attending art and music events, and doing a little surfing. Then I'll fly back Oct. 3, take care of business, play and sing with several music groups at the first ever Redlands Music Festival, Oct. 21 at The Redlands Bowl, and then start driving after that. I'll miss you. It's been great knowing you and I hope you will keep in touch by email etc. Between now and then, I will be playing music at several events. I would like to see you before I go. If you can make it this Sat., it would be great. I'll be playing with Spiro Nicolopoulos accoustic and with his band after that. That's Sat. Aug 25, 9pm-2am at The Vault Martini Bar, 14 East Vine, Redlands, CA. And/or come to my going away party, Aug 26, Sun, 6-11pm at The Vault. Great live music, food, bar will be open.
