BRUCE MATHISKE - WORLD ACCLAIMED GUITAR VIRTUOSO
Bruce Mathiske's fiery fretwork of solo guitar orchestra playing bass, rhythm & melody at once, encompassing a huge range of genres from swing to Latin, Jazz to African, Folk to flamenco, gypsy to ambient/landscape simultaneously playing didgeridoo. you will be taken on a journey with infectious rhythms and fiery fretwork from far flung corners of his guitar.

"A model demonstration of guitar virtuosity and richness of Mathiske's musical palette. Marvel at the speed of his playing on Nashville Express with its hints of country. Be amused at how, with Slipstreaming and Caribbean Daze, he could easily be a member of Jimmy Buffet's band. And, as he wanders around the region, see how effortlessly he embraces smooth Latin sounds with Havana Nights and the richness of Spain and Mexico with El Martes Gracioso. Mathiske is quite simply, a great guitar player." Bruce Elder - Sydney Morning Herald July 2007
