About this Event

Don Ross is an acclaimed and pioneering figure whose innovations have shaped an entire generation of acoustic guitarists. He is the only two-time US National Finger-Style Guitar Champion and his unique style of playing is celebrated by fans worldwide. Don's music borrows from blues, jazz, folk and classical music creating a style that he describes as "heavy wood". His advanced technique and his sure feeling for rhythm combine with uncommon ideas to make his style instantly recognizable. He often uses percussive techniques and plays intricate down and upstroke patterns with his thumb. These techniques have found their way into the toolboxes of many competitive fingerstyle guitarists. Don is celebrating the release of his newest album WATER (2023) which includes collaborations with Bruce Cockburn and Michael Manring and is currently available online and through his website. Over the span of his career Don has amassed millions of YouTube views, won multiple Canadian Folk Music Awards, is Juno nominated(Canadian Grammy), was awarded Guitar Player Magazine’s Best New Talent, collaborated with Bruce Cockburn on his latest release WATER (2023) and was awarded the prestigious Walter Carlton Prize

for Excellence in Performing Arts by the Canada Council for the Arts.

Experience the unmatched talent of two world class masters of the guitar, Don Ross and Jule Malischke. After collaborating at a guitar festival in Europe, Don Ross and Jule Malischke uncovered a sound that was too exceptional to overlook. Their concert will feature an opening set by Jule, highlighting why she is one of Europe’s most treasured guitarists, followed by a solo set from Don, an acclaimed and pioneering figure whose innovations have shaped an entire generation of acoustic guitarists. He is the only two-time U.S. National Finger-Style Guitar Champion, and his unique style of playing is celebrated by fans worldwide. Don and Jule will then collaborate for a set of music that will reveal their unique chemistry as they push the boundaries of the genre and deliver an experience that is both technically impressive and deeply expressive. Whether you're a fan of Don Ross's groundbreaking techniques or Jule Malischke's fresh, dynamic approach, this is a must-see event. Don't miss your chance to witness two world-class guitarists live!
