In the world of do-it-yourself music, we’re all rock stars.

No one knows this better than Ian Anderson, frontman of the Portland-based dance duo Guidance Counselor. Anderson began releasing music under the name Guidance Counselor in 2007 and was recently joined by drummer Keil Corcoran. Together the two are taking the Portland music scene by storm, breathing life into Friday nights at local clubs with their pulsing live performance.
