................ SOUND SAMPLES ........... The page that lets you hear Open Play
What do you want from an album of solo acoustic guitar songs? Maybe you need to hear strong vocals, original new songwriting, superb melodies and clear, intelligent lyrics. Perhaps you also expect a highly developed guitar technique, well-recorded. Julian Garner's Open Play CD offers all this, and a few other qualities you might not associate with acoustic guitar albums: great variety of arrangement and harmony, emotive performances, rhythmic energy, power chords and punchy hooks.

To hear short audio clips from Julian's acoustic album Open Play, or from his critically acclaimed third album of fully arranged songs Your Good Self, click on a song title below. The samples vary from around 30 to 90 seconds, and are only intended to give you a taste of the music, which is not represented here to the same recording quality available by purchasing the CDs.
