Comess, who wrote and produced the June 14th album, creates sweeping songs that are emotive without words, leaving his commanding drum work and the 'voice' of his band's electric guitar (Teddy Kumpel) and bass (Richard Hammond) to weave a dramatic, engaging soundscape.

With 'Beautiful Mistake', he shines as a songwriter and continues to distinguish himself. Comess comments on the process of creating 'Beautiful Mistake', his second instrumental CD: "I try to make music that speaks like a song even without words...where the melody plays like a voice, but with plenty of room for improvisation. I wrote all the music on guitar, and I'm grateful for how well Teddy and Rich interpreted it."
