Alexandr Misko/ Gareth Pearson plus Forest Bailey

Alexandr Misko is a modern fingerstyle guitar prodigy who mesmerizes audiences worldwide. From viral videos with over 80 million views to performing at Carnegie Hall and collaborating with Hans Zimmer, his music captivates fans online and at live shows around the globe. Still in his 20s, Misko has gained international recognition with seven albums, a YouTube channel exceeding 1 million subscribers, and performances spanning from America to Japan. He’s known for his innovative Frankenstein Guitar, a one-of-a-kind acoustic instrument featuring a triple de-tuning system, built-in percussion, and 14 pickups. With a style that blends technical innovation with accessible musicality, Misko’s compositions transcend cultural barriers and speak a universal language wherever they are heard.

Gareth Pearson is referred to as “The Welsh Tornado” which is particularly appropriate, seeing as this special talent combines fingerstyle pyrotechnics, with explosive lead runs making Pearson one of the most exciting acoustic musicians gigging today.
Gareth has a distinctive style that can be heard through his creative and innovative arrangements which cover a wide spectrum of genres, including country/folk/classical/pop/rock/jazz/swing and bluegrass music, along with his own beautiful and often intricate original compositions.
Drawing his playing style initially from influences such as Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, Jerry Reed and Tommy Emmanuel, he has developed a style that is both inspiring and entertaining.

Forest Bailey crafts a unique combination of fingerstyle, tapping and percussive playing that is all his own. Drawing from various influences like Michael Hedges, Andy Mckee, Antoine Dufour, Scale The Summit, Led Zeppelin, Chon, and Covet, each song is a musical journey that further shows what two hands and a guitar can accomplish. He underscores these sonic adventures with an exciting, welcoming and humorous stage presence that exudes every ounce of passion he has for his craft.
