An Evening with Robin Bullock

Hailed as a "Celtic guitar God" by Baltimore City Paper and "one of the best folk instrumentalists in the business" by Sing Out! Magazine, Robin Bullock is one of the preeminent acoustic music masters of our time. His virtuosity on guitar, cittern and mandolin blends the ancient melodies of the Celtic lands, their vigorous American descendants, and the masterworks of the Baroque and Renaissance eras into one powerful musical vision. The 17th-century harp tunes of legendary Irish bard Turlough O'Carolan, the spirited jigs and reels of rural Ireland, the haunting ballads of the southern Appalachians and the timeless compositions of Bach, Dowland and Francesco da Milano all find a musical common ground in Bullock's music, where lightning-fast fingerwork one moment is perfectly balanced with tender, quiet intimacy the next. A warm, friendly presence onstage, Bullock effortlessly creates a magical world for the audience with his multi-instrumental wizardry, taking them on an unforgettable journey into the deep heart's core and through the music of the spheres.

Bullock has been named one of the 100 Greatest Acoustic Guitarists by DigitalDreamDoor.com, honored with Player's Choice and Editor's Pick awards from Acoustic Guitar Magazine and called a "master" by Cashbox Magazine. He has toured internationally for many years as sideman with Grammy-winning folk legends Janis Ian and Tom Paxton (who says Bullock's musicianship "has always been world-class), along the way releasing over 20 CDs of his own and performing solo in venues large and small. Bullock captivates audiences in intimate house concerts and clubs as well as larger venues including Kennedy Center in Washington, DC and London's Queen Elizabeth Hall.
