Artist Info click here to view more info

(from artist's site) - Lorne Lofsky is a Canadian guitarist living in the Toronto area. He started out as a typical teenage rock 'n roll guitar player, playing in basement bands and at high school dances. In his late teens, no longer enamored with playing blues based rock music, a friend turned him on to Miles Davis's classic disk "Kind of Blue". Hearing this record was, for Lorne, a musical revelation that led to a dramatic change is his approach to playing music.

(from artist's site) - In the Basque region, where Sylvain Luc is from, there is music within the crystalline air. And there is song: full; lyrical; primal. Here, music is in the head long before it is under the fingers. Sylvain’s genius lies in putting melody always at the forefront of his compositions. It is only later that we become aware of his internationally praised virtuosity as an instrumentalist. “Technique has never been my goal. Music is not a contest. You play music; you live music. Music should be shared — it shouldn’t divide people.”
