Kent Wall was born July 26th, 1957 in Newberg, Oregon. he has been musically seasoned with over ten of his “wonder years” spent in the California greater Bay Area, and a like amount of young adulthood in Satellite Beach, Florida until his move back to Oregon, with his Floridian wife Frances, in 1982. The west coast/east coast musical influences he was exposed to and immersed in at these two vastly different musical times helped him develop a unique blend of musical combinations that allows for some interesting mixture of writing concepts. Kent says, “anything goes if it’s got a groove. “ I was just starting to figure out what guitar chops were with my first electric guitar (a Montgomery Wards brand, and a Sears Silvertone Twin Twelve amp) to the likes of Janis Joplin’s Cheap Thrills album with Big Brother and the Holding Company, The Beatles Abbey Road & White Album (thanks to brother Brent’s musical library), Blood Sweat & Tears and Hendrix, when our family moved to Florida.” There Kent found himself wearing out a copy of the Stones Get Yer Ya-Yas Out live album (again, brother Brent’s), Joe Walsh’s James Gang “Rides Again, until Southern Rock came in on the ZZ Top / Lynyrd Skynyrd freight train. This is when Kent really started to feel the groove. Bands like ZZ, Skynyrd, Blackfoot, Marshall Tucker, Wet Willie, Outlaws, then stretching to bands like Little Feat, and then the harder rock of Robin Trower and Pat Travers all greatly affected his musical “core”. Later, after marrying Frances and moving back to the Portland area, Kent heard the song Pride and Joy by a guitar slinger out of Texas named Stevie Ray Vaughan and it was like ”coming home”. Since then, Kent has continued on what can be called a "BluesRock" musical path, with no boundaries defined other than, the "undeniable Groove."
