JC (Chris) McNeil

Guitars and songwriting

At the age of 17, inspired by the sounds of Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page, JC (AKA "Chris") picked up the guitar and has hardly put it down since. Many years later, while recovering from a traumatic blender accident, he got serious about music and applied himself to learning music theory. JC has employed synesthesia strategies to practice and composition and a unique way of relating musical scales to a set of correspondences from mythology. McNeil’s improvisational style has been described as "Spacey Shred". Other influences include John Scofield, Miles Davis, Frank Zappa, and Allan Holdsworth.

Growing up in Charleston, Tommy first began playing guitar in high school, and he soon started a band that no one now would remember. In college, he became a more occasional player but still let his love for music lead him on countless road trips. In 2008, while watching one of his favorite bands live, a light bulb went off and Tommy couldn’t excuse himself for not being more proactive with his passion for music. He went back to daily practice, and began working with guitar guru Frank Carlier. After a short hiatus from playing in a local cover band, he was very excited to find his place in the fusion influenced sound of of Air Sculptures.
