Never one to settle for the boring or mundane, Richard Gilewitz surprises audiences with his uproariously eccentric vision of the world and its inhabitants alongside breathtaking artistry on the 6- and 12-string guitar. Named one of the top fingerstyle guitarists of all time, Richard captivates listeners with uniquely emotional interpretations of romping knucklebusters and contemplative classical tunes reimagined for steel strings. What truly sets Richard apart is the breadth of his musical choices and inspirations (Bach to Led Zeppelin!) and the emotional tone he elicits from every piece.
Of course it isn’t just the music. When was the last time you heard a story and then a song about the smallest penguins on Earth vomiting en masse under the floorboards above which Richard was performing? Richard entertains as only Richard can, with a unique combination of spellbinding fingerstyle mastery and hilarious commentary on life. Studying for decades with a classical guitarist who was taught by a violinist who played alongside Albert Einstein...well, that is Richard in a nutshell. Unusual, unique, surprising, and a master of fingerstyle guitar.
