Artist Biography

Near-classical guitar playing that takes to the sky and malingers majestically, paired with intimate, haunting & unique vocals.

Vertigo Butterfly began in Seattle in 2000 as an acoustic duo before playing & traveling across the US - from the lush northwest to gorgeous, staid New England & then the dizzying southwest, eventually returning here to the northwest.

A passion for recording and creating music in a home studio superceded the love of playing live, at least for a time. 'There is such an intent & peaceful focus being at home and creating... while the other hand itches to travel again.'

A second Vertigo Butterfly CD is in the pre-production stages and will include several guest musicians (playing violin, cello, piano & more).

For the disc '1932' John plays all of the instruments (guitars/bass guitar/mandolin & drums) and is acting studio engineer & mixologist; Luray sings, concocts melodies and writes most of the lyrics.

Disc-Mastering by Brian Chapman (Zoo People) of Beacon Street Studios in LA (Stone Skipper Mastering).

  A good friend told us to keep going with our music since it dispels some of the dross that's in the world today, which I find funny because I've never considered us to be people who cheer people up. These songs aren't exactly comedic.
