Claude Bourbon is known throughout Europe and America for amazing guitar performances that take blues, Spanish, and Middle Eastern stylings into uncharted territories. Claude’s inimitable style incorporates all five digits on each hand dancing independently but in unison, plucking, picking, and strumming at such speed and precision that his fingers often seem to melt into a blur. A careful listen to Claude’s playing will reveal some of his influences: Paco De Lucia: Deep Purple’s Richie Blackmore; Joaquin Rodrigo; J.J. Cale; and J.S. Bach. "A breathtaking acoustic fusion of blues, jazz, folk, classical and Spanish guitar from a stunning guitar virtuoso…” Altadena News Presented by the nonprofit San Diego Folk Heritage.
