Acoustic Highway

Acoustic Highway is American musician Craig Chaquico's first solo album as a contemporary jazz artist after 16 years playing lead guitar, composing songs, and co-producing for the San Francisco-based rock bands Jefferson Starship and Starship.

Acoustic Highway, co-written and co-produced by keyboardist Ozzie Ahlers, was released on June 11, 1993, through the Higher Octave label.

[3] When Chaquico left Starship in 1990, he began looking for a new musical direction, opting for a solo career as a jazz and new age instrumentalist.

According to Mike Boehm, Chaquico produced "rippling, glistening, fluid tones" by processing his customized Washburn acoustic guitar through electronic effects.

[5][6] Chaquico includes elements that draw from new age, contemporary and smooth jazz compositions while containing subtle undertones of Native American influences.
