Will Landrum was born just outside of Los Angeles California. He started playing guitar at age 10, lost interest, and then at 13 started playing again, inspired by rock greats such as Deep Purple and Ritchie Blackmore. Throughout his teenage years, he joined a few bands sporadically but was never happy playing cover tunes and changing his guitar sound to suit other people's taste. The foundation for the D.Y.I. spirit was already set in stone.
A lot has happened since those early formative days. Will Landrum is now the Guitar Consultant and has two albums to his credit, and most recently a gripping tribute to all of his influences in the form of rockin’ instrumentals on Living Digits. When you look at the new recording in retrospect, what you get is a solid dose of classic rock, metal, and blues all wrapped into one tight package. If you love guitar instrumentals with a myriad of influences, this album will bring great joy to your ears and put a smile on your face from ear to ear.
