2003 GRAMMY AWARD WINNING GUITARIST, PRODUCER AND ENGINEER
Grammy Award winning fingerstyle guitarist Eric Tingstad is well known for his impressionistic style and an uncanny ability to unearth the soul of musical landscapes creating a distinctive sense of place. It's been said by more than a few, that upon hearing just five to six notes, one can categorically determine sight unseen, it is Eric Tingstad playing guitar.
His inimitable style stands out in his latest musical offering titled, SOUTHWEST (Cheshire Records) slated for release in late 2006. A longstanding and highly visible steward of the land, Tingstad conceived this project eight years ago under the working title, "The Desert Project." Earthy and evocative, the music evokes the landscape and ancestral spirit of the great American Southwest.
"Acoustic instrumental music simply doesnt get any better period."
Bill Binkelman

"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
