Richard Gilewitz Acoustic Adventures

His tales – humorous trips into the world of a touring musician. His tunes – historical adventures on a journey into fingerstyle guitar. His shows – jolly good fun!

Once touted as one of the strangest men in acoustic music, fingerstyle guitarist Richard Gilewitz lives up to this depiction with his rousing performances filled with amazing chops, humor, and a history of the acoustic guitar from blues to folk, traditional to classical and somewhere in between. States Spectrum Magazine, “Much of the charm of a Gilewitz performance is in the stories he tells. He wondered aloud to the audience how many ducks he could take out in a fight if he were to be attacked by a flock of the sneaky waterfowl.”

Not only are his tales from the road a journey into the world of a touring musician, Richard’s tunes are adventures themselves as his instrumental wanderings reveal surprises with each note. A must for anyone who wants to laugh, be amazed, and be treated to an evening of great music from this seasoned performer who delights audiences worldwide.

Name as one of the “Men of Steel” by Fingerstyle Guitar Magazine, Richard Gilewitz fascinates his audiences while spinning yarns too unbelievable not to be true. This powerhouse of a performer creates fingerstyle gymnastics on his 6 and 12-string guitars with standard and open tunings, right-hand wizardry, with a balance of hard driving percussion and the delicate touch of the classical.
