Walter Turnercrest

One man, one guitar, too many opinions

Performances

Videos

A rotating set of covers from Hank Williams Sr. to Nirvana, with plenty of harmony in between.

Fire and Rain (patio demo)

Recorded on Walter's back porch in August — phone propped on a tomato bucket, cicadas in the background, no edits. Five years into guitar and he finally trusts this one. He'll tell you which James Taylor album it came from and which Ohio State quarterback was playing the day he learned it.

Casserole Blues (original)

Walter's most requested original — a slow blues about a church potluck and a recipe his ex-wife never wrote down. Written after he switched from drums to guitar; the rhythm still comes from his foot, not his strumming hand.

Leader of the Band

Full song, no cuts. Walter learned this on guitar for his father — the man who paid for drum lessons in '79 and lived long enough to hear Walter play something other than a kit. The video is shaky; the chorus is not.
