At age two, Conrad taught himself to play the piano, and again taught himself the guitar at age ten. Conrad has been performing solo live performances since he was four years-old, and has been fortunate enough to meet and/or perform with some of the greats of the entertainment industry. Conrad has been performing with his own band "The One Elevens" for the past two years, playing his own brand of blues,roots, and rock music.

kid went down to the crossroads, didn't he? dang...that's the blues, son!!

[shadowsongs914]

This type of guitar was invented in the 1920s as a way to make guitars louder before the invention of the electric guitar. Underneath the round cover in the middle of the body of the guitar is an aluminum cone, which work exactly like the speaker cones of any stereo system, except that the vibrations are not driven by electromagnetism, but rather by the vibrations of the strings. They are most often played with a slide. They were (and still are) mostly used by blues and Hawaiian music players.
