You\\\\\\\'ll never meet someone as dedicated or passionate about his chops than Aric Michael Manthey. Aric decided to risk his finances and a future in generic secondary education for the opportunity to maximize his playing potential. Recently, Aric spent seven weeks traveling throughout Europe. With a backpack, expandable bag and a pawn-shop purchased first act acoustic guitar, Aric lugged his way through 8 different countries. By taking in the local culture and finding a gig wherever he could, he hoped to find a path to the next level. After multiple failed bands and projects(all due to lack of other band members work ethic) and a self financed European trip, Aric has secured his passion for authentic, genuine music and his burning desire to one day have his music reach a legendary status. Without a band and released material, Aric has had to rely on his instincts and strict practice regimen to accomplish his goal of becoming a legendary musician. Day by day, brick by brick, step by step, Aric will keep climbing until he reaches the peak of ideal musical nirvana. This is the story of Aric Manthey and his pursuit of becoming what few others have been able to achieve. The journey has begun and now it\\\\\\\'s your turn, as fans, to vote for the best musicians and to help us achieve our dreams.
