EUGENE CHADBOURNE is an accomplished free-improvisational guitarist from Greensboro, NC. He began his musical career in New York City in the 1970s, playing with the likes of John Zorn and Henry Kaiser, and releasing his first solo guitar album while founding the Parachute Records label, He formed an unconventional rockabilly band called Shockabilly with Mark Kramer (later of Bongwater and Shimmy Disc Records) and David Licht (drummer for the Klezmatics).
Chadbourne became known for mixing Cajun, Appalachian, and country music idioms with his free improvisation, and released mixed-genre albums throughout the 80s and 90s on labels such as Fundamental, Placebo, Dossier, and Alternative Tentacles. He collaborated with bands such as Camper Van Beethoven and Evan Johns & the H-Bombs. During that period, he also worked with free improvisers such as Frank Lowe. John Zorn, Toshinori Kondo, Paul Lovens and Noel Akchote for such established avant-garde jazz labels as Intakt, Leo and Incus.
In the 1990s, Chadbourne started a band with drummer Jimmy Carl Black from Frank Zappa's Mothers of Invention, and toured several times with him. Chadbourne spent the next two decades playing avant-garde festivals and tours in Europe and North America, especially lots of dates with Aki Takase, Schroder, and Tatsuya Nakatani (including a 2011 show at Garfield Artworks in Pittsburgh). By 2015, Chadbourne had self-released a 1000-page book called "Dreamory" collecting his memories and tour diaries.
