Guitar Idol 2011 winner in town!
Winding Rivers Arts & Performance Society begins its fourth season of concerts at St Albans in downtown Ashcroft. The first show of the season will be on Friday, Oct. 4 - with Vancouver-based finger-style guitarist, Don Alder. Tickets are now available in Ashcroft at the Ashcroft Bakery and Natures Gifts, and in Cache Creek at The Jade Shop.
Alder’s unique style of playing incorporates finger picking with simultaneous percussion to create a wall of sound. His music is a unique combination of deeply textured melody and rhythm. He has been featured in Guitar Player Magazine and all of the other main guitar publications.
As winner of the 2011 Worldwide Guitar Idol (held in London, UK), 2010 Guitar Superstar contest (LA, USA) and the 2007 International Fingerstyle Championships, often referred to as the Hendrix of acoustic guitar, Don Alder has earned his place as one of the top acoustic guitarists in the world and is the only guitarist to win all of the top prestigious guitar competitions armed with just an acoustic guitar.
Don is also recognized as one of the of the world’s top harp guitarists.
He is often referred to as sounding like a four piece band. Don’s music is his own unique weave of deeply textured melody and story. Lyrical and compelling, his original songs are notes of exploration - some passionate and haunting, some hard-driven, others light and teasing. In quiet pieces or pushing right to the edge, Don’s phenomenal finger style playing and rich voice captivate - not to be missed!
