Kyran Daniel, Gareth Pearson
$20 ($16 adv.).
media release: Lauded Welsh guitarist Gareth Pearson is touring again, and will be performing April 16th at the Bur Oak in Madison, with special guest Australian guitarist Kyran Daniel.
Gareth is often referred to as “The Welsh Tornado”, particularly appropriate, as this special talent combines fingerstyle pyrotechnics with explosive lead runs making him one of the most exciting acoustic musicians gigging today.
Gareth has a distinctive style that can be heard through his creative and innovative arrangements which cover a wide spectrum of genres, including country, folk, classical, pop, rock, jazz, swing and bluegrass, along with his own beautiful and often intricate original compositions.
He's shared stages with legends as diverse as The Kinks' Ray Davies, John Renbourne, Southside Johnny, Jan Akkerman, Andy McKee, as well as his friend and mentor Tommy Emmanuel.
Drawing his playing style initially from influences such as Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, Jerry Reed and Tommy Emmanuel, he has developed a style that is both inspiring and entertaining. His off-the-cuff humor and stage patter elevate him above most of his contemporaries, bringing that extra joie de vivre to his shows.
"I'm Gareth's number one fan! What a guitarist!” - Stefan Grossman
"Not only is Gareth one of the most amazing guitarists around, he is a really nice guy and funny as hell!" - Andy McKee
