All Genres > Blues > Acoustic Blues > HECTOR ANCHONDO: Somewhere In Middle America

Hector was 16 years old when he received his first electric guitar.

He grew up on a farm 20 miles outside of the small town of Salem, Missouri (population: 5,000). With not much do there, Hector picked up the guitar and would practice playing it entire days through, sunrise to sunset.

In 2000, after Hector finished High School, him and his family packed up the farm and moved to Omaha, Nebraska. Hector didn't want to make the move, leavening the friends he had grown up with and went to school with his entire life but he knew that it was something that he just had to do. Hector had one thing on his mind: MUSIC.

A year later Hector, with three other band mates in tow, formed the band Anchondo. For the following two years Anchondo released two albums and toured constantly around the country and all of the while, Hector was living his dream come true.

In the winter of 2003 Anchondo took a small break from the road and playing music but Hector didn't know what to do with himself. He found a side project that WOULD keep him busy though... his old composition notebook! This book was FILLED with songs that Hector had written during his High School days, songs that brought back memories of family problems, old friends, and high school crushes. Hector began sorting through the songs and found his favorite ones. He went into the studio and recorded a very soulful album. When Hector was finished recording, he released the heartfelt acoustic disk: "Somewhere In Middle America" - check this one out! You won't regret it!
