Folk / World / Jazz

Antoine Dufour and Tommy Gauthier combine to make CD full of diverse styles including Folk, World, and Jazz influences. The level of virtouosity on Still Strings is at the highest level, even so, the music is always in front and held there from start to finsih with great results.

World

Andrew White (Guitar, Vocals) and Brendan Power (Harmonicas) became friends while living in Auckland, New Zealand. Both moved overseas and have achieved worldwide renown as brilliant solo performers and instrumentalists. The duo’s powerful blend of passion and virtuosity is brilliantly captured on their debut album Power & White, simultaneously filmed and recorded live for promotion on YouTube by Candyrat Records.

Recorded this past September in Chicago, Walk in Light is Andrew's best album to date. Featuring a full band comprised of the city's finest session musicians, it introduces an array of new songs from a broad spectrum of styles. From reggae beats to blues to folk, it displays beautifully Andrew's versatility as a guitarist, songwriter and arranger.

Traces of Silver was recorded and filmed in Nova Scotia, Canada in 2007 in a old barn at the Silver Glen Resort. The cd is a collection of vocal and instrumental songs with a single duet performed with Gillian Boucher.

A beautiful collection of recordings by UK-based New Zealander Brendan Power. Power is acknowledged by many as one of the most creative, skilled & versatile harmonica players around today.

Instrumental / World

'Elemental' seamlessly blends Celtic & contemporary sounds with hints of Eastern European styles and jazz. It truly is world music and no wonder: Gillian started touring the world at just 15 - first as a featured performer at Green Linnet's 20th Anniversary Gala in New York, and then throughout North America, Scotland, Ireland, New Zealand and Australia.

“There are few albums made today in which every track is exceptional.  There are few albums which the listener immediately wants to replay again and again.  But this is one of those rare albums.” — Sidestream radio program, Brisbane, Australia

Acoustic Guitar (Australia)

Ross Hunter and Owen van-Larkins are The Express. These two incredibly talented and gifted young musicians met in 2002 while studying music at Southbank TAFE in Brisbane and soon afterwards began writing and performing their own unique brand of Celtic, Folk and Spanish flavoured acoustic guitar music

Jazz (German Import)

Pedro Tagliani was co-founder, guitarist, composer and arranger of the brazilian jazz-group ”raiz de pedra”. Since 1993 he lives and works in Europe. His latest CD ”Arvoredo”, another milestone, is resulting from the fruitful co-operation with the renowned Austrian saxophonist Thomas Kugi.

Classical / Flamenco (Belgium Import)

The music produced by the then 24-year-old Karim Baggili was difficult to describe. A little flamenco here, a few Arabic scales there, and lots of fire and enthusiasm made it hard to paste a label on the music. Nevertheless, everyone hearing the young musician in the finals of the Open Strings competition was fascinated.

Fiddle (Eastern Canada)

Ashley MacIsaac is, in a sense, the musical representative of the pre-millenial generation of Eastern Canada. An ardent traditionalist with a penchant, nevertheless, for experimentation, this 26-year-old Nova Scotian native has been taught to play the fiddle the working-class, pub-stomp Cape Breton way: fast, furious and with phenomenal precision.

Acoustic Guitar

Four of the most dynamic and powerful guitar artists in the world, each a master of the acoustic guitar, combine their talents into one amazing ensemble. Men of Steel is Beppe Gambetta (Italy), Dan Crary (US), Tony McManus (Scotland), and Don Ross (Canada). Four Way Mirror is their second release.
