personal to him.”
Often the bands Arnold opens for
have a drastically different musical
style than his acoustic guitar, but he
said that’s one of the things he likes
best about performing as a solo act.
“One night I’m playing with Easy
Target, the next night it’s David
Wilcox,” he said. “Playing with all
those different groups allows me to
have such a broader range of listeners.”
But Arnold will not remain a
solo act for long. He said he has
been rehearsing with friends from
the band Morning After, and he
said once they have tightened up
their sound, the band will accom
pany him to performances.
Morning After features drummer
Dan Steinberg, guitarist Kole Hod
gen and bassist Greg Dalbey.
Steinberg described their music
as “acoustic rock with an edge.”
He said Arnold has worked hard
to move up in the Eugene music
scene, playing with popular artists
such as Reynolds.
This summer, Arnold said he has
plans to go into the recording stu
dio with Morning After to lay down
tracks for a full-length CD.
“It will be nice to have the time
to focus entirely on music,” he said.
The release date for the full-length
CD has not been decided, but he
predicted it will be available by late
summer or the beginning of next
school year.
“One night I’m playing with
Easy Target, the next night
it’s David Wilcox. Playing
with all those different
groups allows me to have
such a broader range
of listeners.”

and local musician
Until then, Arnold has an EP that
is available at performances or at
christunes@excite.com. The EP
will also be available in local music
stores on May 14 for $3.
“With school and everything, I’m
not going to have time to go and do
a full-length record until summer
time, and so I just wanted to have a
chance that people can take some
thing away with them,” he said.
Arnold said he hopes to have the
EP available online in the near future.
Through the Internet, “people
have a chance to listen to so much
music, and that’s so awesome.”
Arnold, like many of the local
bands in Eugene, find the Internet
is one of the quickest ways to make
his music available to listeners.
“It’s not a matter of profits,” he
added. “The best way for me to get
paid is for people to have a chance
to listen to my music, and for peo
ple to get a chance to come out and
see it and hear it in any way. I’m
more concerned with that type of
reward.”
Beyond this summer, Arnold
said he is not sure where his music
career will take him.
“I’m enjoying myself, and it’s not
really work for me,” he said. “I’ll let
it carry me where it will.”
