Rudy's Songwriting
|
|
Throughout his life Rudy has written poignant songs of love
and redemption
that
touch upon universal truths. His first CD releasegLove
in the Fourth Degreefillustrates his skillful musical
storytelling and firmly established
him as a member of the songwriting
community. Inspired by his friend, original Eagles guitarist
Bernie Leadon, and songwriters such as Donovan and
Bob Dylan, Rudy's songs are directly from the heart.
Musicians such as Jimi
Hendrix and Mike Pinder, whom he was fortunate to meet, have
also inspired him.

The Early Years
|
|
Born in Fresno, California,
Rudy first came to the islands in 1961 living on Oahu's north shore them came
to Maui on a surfing safari. It's
been
his home
ever since. Maui
was less populated and more serene in those years. He lived in an old
Lahaina house called the Playhouse, where CSNY were known
to stay. It was a hub of the island's
musical life and perfect for him. As Maui began to be discovered
Rudy had the opportunity to meet and play with inspiring musicians, during which
time
he
blossomed
as
a songwriter.

A Note From Rudy
|
|
Aloha! My debut CD "Love
in the Fourth Degree" was two decades in the making.
I share with you songs of life's experiences
and which reflect on my
personal journey. I give thanks to the muse for returning
into my life. I
am honored to share my music with all of you. Many talented
artists gave their all to this project and I extend my
thanks
to them as
well. Special thanks go out to my loving family, my sons
Nick and Ethan and my daughter Jenna. A big thanks
to my musical
mentor Debi Scarpel. I now split my time between Maui and
Kauai and have begun work on my
second
album.
Aloha from Paradise! |
