MARTIN SIMPSON CONCERT

English acoustic guitar virtuoso Martin Simpson has come a long way from his roots in Lincolnshire, Northern England. He played his first paid gig at fourteen, became a professional at seventeen, and shortly after, found himself in the vanguard of the British folk-rock movement.

Martin's dynamic solo guitar performances are legendary, showcasing his mastery of the acoustic guitar as well as his far-ranging repertoire.
He possesses a seemingly effortless command of multiple complex styles, including powerful percussive techniques, unique frailing and fingerstyles, and a ground breaking use of open tunings.

This 70 minute DVD presents a solo concert recorded at the Freight & Salvage in Berkeley California.
