Richard Gilewitz Acoustic Adventures

Peter Cairns MusicWorks presents Richard Gilewitz for an evening of acoustic sounds spanning from blues to classical, folk to pop.

"Ear-boggling" - The Washington Post

American fingerstyle wizard Richard Gilewitz has become a regular sighting in New Zealand, lively entertaining audiences with his 6 and 12-string finger gymnastics while spinning enchanting yarns and short quips too unbelievable not to be true.

Preserving the legacy of the acoustic guitar, his performances are laced with sounds from folk and traditional, to the blues and the classical. With Richard's signature playing style delivering a technical diversity of banjo style picking patterns, classical arpeggios, tapping and harmonics, along with a rhythmic and percussive approach, he brings a fresh impression of sound to the listener.

This year's appearance is part of a two-month tour of New Zealand, Australia, and Tasmania.
