"British Invasion" Released!!

I’m thrilled that the British Invasion is coming! The new album is released as of today!!

This collaboration with the Alexander String Quartet pulls together many musical styles that I’ve loved for years: rock, pop, jazz, blues, even Renaissance lute. My friends Duśan Bogdanović, Leo Brouwer and Ian Krouse transformed popular works by Sting, The Beatles, Led Zeppelin and John Dowland into serious chamber works for guitar and string quartet, creating a totally new perspective on their classic tunes. These pieces pushed me to re-discover my inner rocker, to let loose with a pick and bottleneck slide, but also to explore intricate and nuanced chamber music, and challenging contemporary styles. I hope you find as much fun and discovery in this project as I have.

You can read more about the project - including the album’s complete Program Notes - on the British Invasion Project Page.
