After being influenced by a performance of Eric Clapton's at age five, Berkeley, California singer-songwriter Simon Lunche developed a precocious knack for the guitar. At age thirteen he became the youngest ever to be endorsed by Gibson, but his true voice on the instrument was found in later teen years while playing his cherished 1956 Stratocaster.

Simon Lunche has packed a near lifetime of musical experience in just 25 years. As the creative force behind former Bay Area indie act, The Blondies, he wrote and produced the band's entire catalog and made his name as a captivating live performer.
