One of a growing breed of new acoustic musicians gaining a reputation for an eclectic approach to performance and composition, Peter Janson offers original fingerstyle guitar music with folk roots, mild rhythmic grooves, New Age aesthetics, Jazz aesthetics, Celtic elements, demanding part writing, and acoustic sonority. Solo and with his band this is world class acoustic music with artistry, detail of classical technique, and attention to melodic line. According to “Wind & Wire” magazine, “Peter Janson is one of the best acoustic guitarists recording today…a true artist’s soul.”

Acoustic guitar is proving to be a very popular form of new age or neoclassical music. I have been listening to his music tonight, and frankly, I am having problems picking the one I would call my favorite. Each piece is done with the gift of spirit and the skill of a well-trained musician. He allows the music say what he needs to say and leaves it at that.

Janson does have a page with music sample. I really appreciate artists doing this - it gives the listener a chance to hear different musicians and find the CD (or CDs) that are favorites. I know you will enjoy Peter Janson.
