Engelhardt has never been one to bow to tradition and accept the confines of the status quo. As noted in Variety in the fall of 2008, Toulouse is still remembered today as the first to bring an electric guitar to the stage of the famed acoustic venue, McCabe’s Guitar Shop, in Santa Monica, California.

In the same vein, in late 2007 Engelhardt recorded and released “The Lubbock Lights,” an ambient electronic groove track laid down by the Southern California production team TEA, over which Engelhardt compo

composed and played a melodic and effects-laden sci-fi reflection, paying tribute to the 1955 UFO sighting in Lubbock, Texas, from which the tune’s title is derived. In a strange coincidence, while the production was underway, an eerily similar series of “lights-in-the-sky” UFO sightings took place near Stevensville, Texas.

In June, 2010, Lost Grove Arts will release Engelhardt’s latest work, Perpendicular Worlds, nationally through MVD Distribution. The new album, which is now available for download through CD Baby, iTunes and other online outlets, is regarded by those who have heard it as the guitarist’s best work to date and the genre-bending pinnacle of his career.

Returning to the TEA production team of Franck Balloffet and Phil Bunch, Engelhardt has spent the past two years crafting an unequalled collection of classic compositions and virtuoso performances which will undoubtedly insure his continued presence in the stratosphere of guitardom.
