Richard Gilewitz Acoustic Adventures

Today, recognized world wide as a performer who has a quirky take on everything around him, Richard Gilewitz continues to live up to this depiction with rousing shows filled with offbeat observations combined with his right-hand wizardry and heaps of technique. Says 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."

This performance signals the final leg of three tours of Australia in 2013, where Richard was one of the headliners at the prestigious Cygnet Festival and MONA FOMA, as well as touring dates in Tasmania and Australia with Steve Gadd and Michael Fix.

Whether playing solo, conducting guitar seminars and school programs, or sharing the stage with folks such as Stephen Housden of the Little River Band, Brooks Williams, The California Guitar Trio, John McCutcheon, John Renbourn, Mose Allison, the late John Fahey, Leo Kottke, Norman Blake, Indigo Girls, John Hammond, Rory Block, or Jane Siberry, Richard Gilewitz always invites the audience to join his journey filled with twitters, twists, and turns at every tune.

According to 20th Century Guitar Magazine, "A powerhouse of eclectic guitar styles and genres, Gilewitz wears his influences well."

“He seems to embody the traditional values of the guitar and shows what can be accomplished when you do.” Option Magazine
