His tales – humorous trips into the world of a touring musician. His tunes – historical adventures on a journey into fingerstyle guitar. His shows – rousing performances laced with sounds from traditional to the blues; Americana to European classical. His workshops – opportunities for students to learn from his experiences. "ear-boggling...where technical precision meets sheer passion for the instrument." The Washington Post Richard Gilewitz fascinates listeners with 6 and 12-string finger gymnastics while spinning enchanting yarns too unbelievable not to be true. Once touted as one of the strangest men in acoustic music, this veteran performer entertains with a playing style laced with sounds of folk, blues, Americana, rock, and classical - exploring a history of fingerstyle guitar while topping off songs with tales of the road. Decades of well-honed technique and years of worldwide touring have created a signature sound that has been captured on audio, video, and live, as Richard’s music rings out long after the show is over.
