Picture for song 'Alpine Holiday' by artist 'Chris Bayne'

Original guitar oriented instrumental smooth jazz and a mix of vocal Country, Rock and Blues.

This collection of music represents a lifetime of writing, recording and playing music. These tunes are quite diverse: everything from instrumental guitar oriented jazzy tunes, to Rock, Folk and Country vocal tunes. I have a small home studio where I record my music and teach guitar lessons. Hope you find something you like.
Thanks for Listening,
Chris Bayne
