Preston Reed

Reed's vast range of explosively original music will forever change your expectation of a guitarist.

"Spectacular... the best one-man show this reviewer has seen since Bruce Springsteen... A terrific performer" The Irish Independent

"Widely thought of as the world's most gifted guitarist" Total Guitar

Drawing on blues, rock, funk and jazz influences among others, multi award winning musician Preston Reed weaves and melds genres, rhythms and textures to produce a signature sound that has earned him world renown for its emotional power and stylistic creativity.

Playing an array of guitars from acoustic to electric to classical, Reeds vast range of explosively original music will forever change your expectation of a guitarist. Reed engages the entire instrument, creating a rock/jazz rhythm section, melody line and chordal accompaniment simultaneously. He riffs with the conviction and guts of a rock band, yet plays with the subtlety of that most delicate of jazz pianists, Bill Evans. There are no fancy gadgets or gimmicky FX - just 6 strings (or occasionally 12), two hands and a daring and innovative musical
imagination that crosses all boundaries.
