Pascal Mesnier is a musician specialized in resophonic guitars, based in Paris.
His path is the classic route from passion to professionalism.
After exploring in depth a startling range of acoustic blues and folk style all centered on the slide,he has become an in-demand accompanist and soloist on the European scene.
From 1976 to 1981 he studied acoustic guitar blues at the American Center with Alain Giroux (the French Big Bill Broonzy)
At the end of this period he became impassioned by the slide guitar in all its forms: Hawaiian, blues, and calypso among other genres, bottleneck and lap steel techniques.
Cyril Lefebvre, a French lap steel master and contemporary composer, was his teacher...

"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
