Guitarist Chris Woods, is the latest artist to join the London Acoustic Show line up.
Woods began his career in the guitar world endorsed by the most acclaimed brands and was approached by Hal Leonard to write a comprehensive guide on the percussive style, which quickly became the standard ‘how to play’ percussive guitar publication.
With a loyal following behind him Chris set about writing his debut album. Determined to create an emotional work, that showed percussive guitar playing as a serious creative storytelling tool, Chris toured his new compositions relentlessly. Touring across the globe appearing at festivals, art houses, theatres and even prestigious shows such as the NAMM show in LA, Chris refined his pieces to reach out to audiences as effectively as possible. After two years of touring, Chris went into the studio and recorded Stories for Solo Guitar..
As a guitarist, composer, performer, producer and educator, Chris blends drop tuned grooves with endearing stories to create his performances. There is an eerie feel to his music; a dark jazz texture driven by guitar percussion. His multi-faceted creative mind has spilled out into an array of different concepts including The Chris Woods Groove Orchestra – a collective of musicians performing with the likes of Hang drum, tabla, double bass and electronics. Chris leads the Orchestra, taking you on a journey from solo guitar to cinematic style epics.
He will be at the show on Saturday 10th September and will also be conducting a masterclass on Sunday 11th September. Discounted Early Bird tickets are now on sale at just £17.50 until 5th June.
