About Me |
|
| As a young working musician in London, England in the 1970s, Laurence Juber got an extraordinary, life-changing break when Paul McCartney hand-picked him to become Wings lead guitarist. After Wings disbanded in 1981, Juber embarked on a career as a solo artist, composer and arranger, and soon developed a reputation as a world-class guitar virtuoso, being voted 1 by Fingerstyle Guitar magazine. He has released over a dozen solo CDs, including "LJ Plays the Beatles","Guitarist" and "One Wing".These albums, including the latest "PCH" have been produced by his wife and closest collaborator Hope . Laurence is also a respected composer and arranger.Together, Hope and Laurence Juber have developed a unique comedic songwriting style for the stage, and have 3 musicals being readied for production:
Based on the long-running TV series, ’A Very Brady Musical’ opens in June ’08 at Theatre West, Los Angeles. The all original, ’mockumentary’ musical, ’It’s The Housewives’ follows the meteoric rise of an unlikely girl group. It debuts in September ’08 at Sherman Oaks’ Whitefire Theatre. In addition, their ever popular "Gilligan’s Island, The Musical" launches a national tour in January. |

Music:Member Since: 9/3/2006Band Website: laurencejuber.com Band Members: Acoustic Guitar - solo, sometimes with backup. Mostly fingerstyle. Plays electric too...... Check LJ out on GuitarplayerTV LJ's C.F. Martin & Co. Signature Model OM28 guitar Influences: Sounds Like: "Although best known as lead guitarist of late-era Wings with Paul McCartney, Laurence Juber has quietly become one of the outstanding finger-picking acoustic guitarists on the planet with a series of recordings he has made over the past 10 years or so. His latest brilliant outing is a study of the works of composer Harold Arlen -- everything from "Over the Rainbow" to "Come Rain or Come Shine" -- who, for some reason, Juber considers underappreciated. He gloriously articulates the melodies and never succumbs to show-off playing. But the notes spin out of the songs with such finesse and musical agility, it's hard to believe he has only 10 fingers and six strings. Juber has made a rare acoustic guitar record with bark and bite. His playing is just short of sleight of hand and, like all magicians, he makes it seem effortless." - San Francisco Chronicle "At the heart of LJ's sound and style breathes a near-flawless technique where a fiercely emotional underbelly, alternate tunings, and keen sense of melody and rhythm coalesce into something uniquely his own..you don't have to be a solo-happy guitar worshipper to appreciate his talents."- Inland Empire Weekly "Laurence Juber’s latest solo fingerstyle release is an ambitious tribute to composer Harold Arlen. Even if you don’t recognize the name, you’ll certainly recognize the Arlen tunes Juber has chosen, from Wizard of Oz favorites like “Over the Rainbow” and “If I Only Had a Brain,” to classics like “Stormy Weather” and “It’s Only a Paper Moon.” Juber updates these tunes with his distinctive touch and signature sound while at the same time respecting and maintaining the integrity of the original melodies. Some tunes are upbeat and snappy—“Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea” features a funky tapped-octaves bass line in the same vein as Juber’s own “Rules of the Road”—while others, like “Anyplace I Hang My Hat Is Home” and “Stormy Weather,” are slow and bluesy. Juber again demonstrates his mastery of D A D G A D tuning, which he uses for more than half the tracks, as he navigates through complex harmonies with sophisticated jazz-chord voicings. A book of transcriptions is reportedly in the works, but for now, guitarists can learn a lot simply by listening to how a master arranger interprets this collection of classic tunes." - Acoustic Guitar Magazine Record Label: Solid Air Type of Label: Indie |
