Welcome to my myspace, After the release of "Acoustical Warfare" (listen via playlist above and purchase at http://www.williamthomasanderson.com/merch.htm ) in October we've been gigging quite steady in its support and we've had a great time meeting all our online friends and making new ones in the real world! Keep your eye on our calander to where we're playing next...
Recently I've started a new Alternative/Psychedelic Rock album taking the modern 60's vibe I've been developing to the next level. Log onto my bands myspace @ www.myspace.com/soulsolarium and you can check out some of the upcomiing albums tunes and we hope to have the album ready by August and then touring this fall, have a listen and let me know what you think as your comments and continued support is so important to myself, the band and our whole team...
As stated above my feel and vibe is a 21 century 60's thing to which I can't escape. Acoustical Warfare is an honest reflection of my heart and my desire to see people freed to be all they can be and this is impossible unless first the mind can see that it is possible. The sixties were all about discovery and my music is all about the adventure of discovery. Can we really find the truth of who we are? Can we know the truth of where we come from? Can we know where we go when we walk through the final gate of planet Earth and enter into eternity? The answer is yes and these songs share some of the secrets I've learned since first seeking fundamental truth in 1987.
A BIG THANKS to all my guests for all your emails and support, its my pleasure to write and record music to be a background to your day. Keep an eye on my calander for showcase dates or log onto my website at www.williamthomasanderson.com . I look forward to seeing and meeting you in person... Thanks for stopping by...
