Entrance is the moniker for Guy Blakeslee, a 21 year old guitarist, singer and

prolific songwriter, formerly the bassist for Baltimore's loudest trio, The Convocation Of?

(GSL/Tiger Style). Entrance appears on stage alone, armed with a guitar, a three-octave

vocal range, and if the floor is hard enough, the sound of his relentlessly stomping foot. A

left handed player, lacking any formal training but overflowing with intuitive sonic wisdom,

he uses a right-handed guitar flipped upside-down. His aggressively rhythmic approach,

coupled with a fancy for inventive, open tunings, makes for a style that is uniquely personal

and hard to assign any specific label. A good friend calls it simply "Triumphant, free,

acoustic rock & roll".




Entrance's debut full length, The Kingdom of Heaven Must Be Taken By Storm

which was recorded and mixed by Chris Coady (Diskette, Convocation Of?) at Head Gear

Studios in Brooklyn, NY. Recorded in several sessions over the month of November, the

record has a very intimate feel and a cavernous sound, something one would not expect

from a solo performer. The addition of minimal percussion, keyboards, organs and piano

provide an additional element to Entrance songs not found at a live show.
