Hailing from a country better known for its beer and chocolate than its banjo players, this lanky fellow’s career as a banjo player was certainly not in the cards.
Although he grew up listening to jazz and classical music and later immersed himself in folk and blue grass, the music Guy Donis creates is one of a kind .
We’re talking music that is surprising, exhilarating, amusing, moving, toe-tapping, thundering, startling, enchanting, heart-warming, rousing and, above all... unexpected!
Call it what you will—Adventurous Folk, New Acoustic Music, soundtrack music—just be sure to give a listen. If you think you’ve never heard Guy’s banjo before, think again. Whether accompanying your favourite artists or in jingles and soundtracks, Guy’s music has already reached your ears.
