An album inspired by Love and life:
Curtis Prince is genuine; so is his music. His songs are legitimate confessions straight from his larger-than-life heart. The reason for this is that these songs were a long time coming; a result of observing the people and places that endlessly streamed in and out of his life. In short, the songs themselves have just as much of a story behind them as they do within.

Curtis the singer/songwriter is a relatively new thing, but Curtis the musician has been around for quite a while. Growing up in a musical family, his love for The Dead, Clapton, and Hendrix quickly turned him on to playing the guitar, which he soon mastered. After attending Berklee School of Music, the temptation for rock n roll was too great, and he formed his own bands, as well as sitting in with countless acts in the great venues of the Boston area. After notably touring with blues legend Eddie Kirkland, Curtis spent the next years of his life moving around the country, spending some time honing his skills in the music mecca of Austin, Texas.

As the years took him miles and miles, Curtis began to pay more attention to the singer/songwriters that were performing in his circles. He knew he had a lot to show as a guitar player, but he also had something to say; and he was ready to say it. Like most great art, it took tragedy to get his inspiration. The next few years saw the death of his father, and his own personal illness, and then the death of his dog, Sam. During this time his relationship with his long time love became much stronger and more beautiful, and from this came Wishing for Rhymes.

Wishing for Rhymes, Curtis' debut solo album, is a phoenix-like rebirth. Filled with honest lyrics and ripping guitar licks, it represents everything that has brought him to where he is now. It was worth the wait. Wishing for Rhymes has received acclaim from publications such as Indie Music Magazine, and the single, "Miles and Years," was chosen as one of their top 25 songs for 2011, and remained at #3 on their folk/rock charts for 6 weeks. The album is also seeing increasing radio airplay. Curtis is currently touring the East Coast of the United States, and will be doing a full tour of Europe in the Spring of 2012. The momentum is undeniable.

Curtis Prince's music is the kind of music that demands. It demands that the listener, sits down, pays attention, and lets the song and story wash over them. Like the music he grew up on, it asks the listener to invest the time. After all, it was miles and years in the making.
