| Geoff Muldaur Geoff Muldaur is one of the great voices and musical forces to emerge from the folk, blues and folk-rock scenes centered in Cambridge, MA and Woodstock, NY. With his magical voice and singular approach to American music intact, Geoff is once again touring the world... click for complete bio and press materials Phil Heywood It's something of a well-kept secret that Phil Heywood is one of the premier acoustic guitarists working today. His list of achievements includes a stint with internationally renowned guitarist Leo
Kottke, who, after hearing Heywood for the first time, promptly asked him to join his tour so the two could play duets... Dakota Dave Hull Hailed by everyone from Dave Van Ronk to Doc Watson, from the Washington Post to downbeat, Dakota Dave Hull's guitar style spans a wide musical geography to create an infectious, uniquely personal blend of jazz, ragtime, folk, blues, Western swing, and vintage pop... Peter Lang A pioneer of fingerstyle guitar music, Peter Lang has been dubbed an "American Primitive" following the analogy of guitarist John Fahey... Influenced by country bluesmen and folk revivalists, Lang has dazzled audiences and critics for decades with equal portions of technical acumen, originality and soul. Dean Magraw Since his earliest performing days, critically acclaimed guitarist and composer Dean Magraw has performed in a cornucopia of musical worlds. Among his influences are various blues and jazz styles, classical music, Indian music, folk and traditional genres from many cultures, and more... Charlie Parr There's a reason why Alan Sparhawk (of Low) calls him, "…one of the greatest musicians and human beings I know… Even Charlie's foot coming down on the floorboards speaks with more soul and life than most anything - past or future." Tim Sparks Born in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, Sparks started picking out tunes by ear on an old Stella flat top... He taught himself to play the music he heard around him: traditional country blues and the gospel his grandmother played on piano in a small church in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Lonnie Knight Lonnie is all about songs – in the vein of the storyteller .. Sometime weary, sometime yearning, sometimes resigned to (and amused by)the way things come down. In the tradition of folks like John Prine and early Tom Waits, you just know that Lonnie Knight has lived the storie he tells; that casual feel of someone who is not out to prove something. Minnesota Guitar Wizards The Minnesota Guitar Wizards is a collaboration that celebrates and showcases this amazing pool of talent. It's purpose is to present to audiences the marvelous diversity of style and repertoire found in the music of five of these acoustic masters: Peter Lang, Dakota Dave Hull, Tim Sparks, Phil Heywood, and Dean Magraw. |
