Claude Bourbon
Support from Graham McKirdy
.
Claude Bourbon takes you on a captivating musical journey that defies borders and genres. With roots in classical guitar, his music flows effortlessly through the blues of the Mississippi Delta, the warmth of the Balearic Islands, the rich traditions of the Balkans, and back again.
His style blends Spanish blues with Gypsy rhythms, Eastern European melodies, and touches of flamenco inspired by Paco de Lucía. Influences from Ritchie Blackmore, Joaquín Rodrigo, JJ Cale, and even J.S. Bach can be heard in his rich, intricate playing.
With flawless timing and astonishing technique, Claude does things on six strings most guitarists only dream of. Experience a unique fusion of blues, jazz, folk, classical, and Spanish guitar—all brought together in one unforgettable performance.
“Claude Bourbon aptly describes himself as a musical artist. He uses a vast array of music tools to paint a landscape we have all visited either in person or in our dreams.” Mary Pat Cooney – FolkWorks
“Claude Bourbon is a unique figure today… his playing is almost indescribable“- The Hook, Charlottesville, USA
“A breath-taking acoustic fusion of blues, jazz, classical and Spanish guitar from a stunning guitar virtuoso…” Altadena News, USA”
