Chris Proctor Concert

CHRIS PROCTOR -- US NATIONAL FINGERSTYLE CHAMPION STEEL STRING GUITARIST Here is one reviewer's attempt to characterize the essence of Chris Proctor's music: "What to call his unique melange of styles?There's an aspect of Americana in the echoes of Appalachian and old-time styles that are apparent in just about every track, but there are also elements of jazz, Celtic folk, and a dash of blues in here somewhere. What Proctor does is create guitar music that reflects the whole heritage of the instrument and still has his own distinct stamp - a tall order, but he's up to the job." Other critics call his guitar playing "breathtaking," "haunting," and "rich." Guitar magazines describe his compositions as "spectacular," "elegant," and "exquisite," and praise his twelve-string work as "revelatory."  Media reviewers trace the roots of his style to folk, jazz, pop, and classical music, categorize his playing as "Baroque Folk," "New World Steel String," "Solo Guitar Orchestra," "Instrumental Americana," and compare him to Leo Kottke and Michael Hedges. http://chrisproctor.com/
