Artist History Simeon began playing guitar at the age of fifteen on his dad’s old Hagstrom 12-string acoustic. Soon after that he acquired a cheap electric and formed a band with some of his school friends. The repertoire was small and the songs were played badly, but Simeon had started on a path that would lead him through progressive rock, jazz, fusion, funk and texturalism, eventually to arrive at a place some twenty years later that incorporates all of those elements and fuses them together into something unique.
