The official Gary Moore Web Site. View latest album and tour information.Gary Moore, Guitars, Back to the Blues, Still got the Blues, Tour, New Album, The Official Web Site
Gary Moore is acknowledged as one of the finest musicians that the British Isles has ever produced. In a career that dates back to the 1960s, there are few musical genres that he has not turned his adroit musical hand to, and has graced the line-ups ever several notable rock bands, Thin Lizzy, Colosseum II and Skid Row to name but three.
Gary was born in Belfast, Northern Ireland, on April 4th 1952. Like many others, he was turned on to rock and roll first through hearing Elvis Presley, and then via The Beatles. Seeing the likes of Jimi Hendrix and John Mayall's Bluesbreakers in his hometown in the mid-60s opened up to him the rich world of The Blues. Hearing the art of the Blues guitar performed by such lauded exponents as Peter Green fired Moore's nascent talent, and it wasn't long before he was being hailed as a teen musical prodigy. Indeed, it was Green himself who helped foster Moore's career, a debt that was repaid handsomely when Gary cut his warm and heartfelt tribute to his mentor, the 'Blues For Greeny' album, released in 1995 ...

2. adrian legg
Impossible to categorize as a player, Adrian Legg incorporates virtually every genre on his guitar in a virtuosic instrumental style with effects. He brought electric approaches to acoustic playing, creating a modern cross-over amalgamation in the tradition of eclectic folk playing that goes back to the 1960s."

Lisa Baker:
Shredding the 'blonde from California' stereotype, Lisa baker smartens up the image of the female guitar player.
Currently supporting the release of her jazz CD, Song for a New Day, Lisa separates herself from the current crop of female singer-songwriters by taking on multiple roles, including those of producer, engineer and songwriter. But most impressive is her role as guitarist. Her ability to improvise alongside such respected musicians as Oteil Burbridge, Derico Watson, and Regi Wooten puts her in a category all on her own.
Born and raised in southern California, Lisa studied piano under the wing of her jazz pianist mother. She expanded her musical horizons by studying violin, upright bass, oboe, and voice. When Lisa was 12, her family moved to Seattle, Washington. "I stole my mother's acoustic guitar when i was a senior in high school," Lisa confeses. "She just never saw it again." Lisa strummed folk songs and church music on the instrument. The guitar's easy mobility and flexibility made it her instrument of choice.

Aran van Balleart: classical guitar player:
Sinds zijn debuut-cd ‘Danza’ ( 2002 ) met bijbehorende tournee geldt Aram Van Ballaert als één van de belangrijke persoonlijkheden op vlak van de klassieke gitaar.
Met een vrijwel ongekend repertorium wist hij zowel pers als publiek te overtuigen en ‘ Danza’werd zelfs genomineerd voor de Klara muziekprijzen 2003.
Door zijn veelzijdigheid was Aram de vorige jaren te horen in de meest uiteenlopende bezettingen. Zo was hij solist bij ‘ I Fiamminghi ‘, speelde met orkesten en ensembles zoals de Filharmonie en Champ d’action en ook in kamermuziekverband wist hij zich te laten gelden. Concerten met Vlaamse topmusici zoals Kristien Ceuppens (hobo), Geert De Bièvre (cello), Raphaëlla Smits (gitaar) en Ronny Mosuse (verteller) werden enthousiast onthaald.
In september 2004 stond Aram op de planken met Geert Waegeman en Ivan Smeulders, muzikanten die hun strepen reeds verdienden in verscheidene muzikale genres. Er stonden zowel eigen composities als improvisaties op het programma ...
