Bladiator

Born in the small town of Big Sandy, Texas, Karl Harmdierks (aka, Bladiator) came to learn music through the inate plunking of his father. At the age of five years, Blad's father taught him the basics of chordal harmony. From there, Blad eventually went on to take lessons for about 3 years (9-12 years old), until his teacher up and left town. He continued to putz around on the piano and had some fun trying to write music. Fast forward to college, where Karl told them he WAS going to be a musician.
