SECOND SELF

An energetic power trio steeped in rock, reggae, and funk influences, Second Self plays highly original music that showcases the group's ability to transition between tight arrangments and off-the-cuff improvisation.
In 2003, while attending high school in Fallston, Maryland, founding members Jimmy Hunter (lead guitar), Jeff Hunter (drums), and Nick Stampone (bass), began writing instrumental compositions. From 2004 through 2010 the three collaborated with many great musicians, experimenting with various musical styles.
Second Self has performed over 200 live shows in such venues as The 8x10 Club in Baltimore, The 9:30 Club in Washington DC, and The Chameleon Club in Lancaster, PA. Known for extended live sets, special musical guests, and cover songs ranging from The Grateful Dead to Radiohead, the band's perpetually developing live sound offers fans a unique and fresh experience every time they play.
In 2010, Second Self released their self-titled debut album with Dave Thomas on vocals and rhythm guitar. Recorded at Wrightway Studios in Baltimore by engineer and producer Mike McAree, the band was able to release their first studio tracks since forming. The album is available in print as well as digitally on iTunes and other digital music providers.
In late 2010 Erik Dittmar was offically added to the band as lead vocalist and rhythm guitarist.
