Concert Description:
Trace Bundy
Internationally-acclaimed guitar virtuoso Trace Bundy must be seen, not just heard. His music is poetry in motion, using harmonics, looping, multiple capos, and his unique banter and stage presence to deliver an unforgettable live concert experience. Listening to his intricate arrangements is one thing, but seeing the fan-dubbed “Acoustic Ninja” play live confounds even the most accomplished music lovers as to how one person can do all that with just two hands and ten fingers. Bundy’s unique career has brought him across the world, with concerts in 28 countries and counting -from high-tech performance halls in South Korea and Italy, to remote villages in Zimbabwe and Guatemala. He has independently sold over 150,000 albums on his record label, Honest Ninja Music. His video clips circulate virally at astonishing speed, with over 45million YouTube views to date. Jimmy Leslie at Guitar Player Magazine blogs “It was easy to see why Bundy plays bigger venues on each tour. In his hands, the acoustic guitar is an imagination station, and there was no telling where he is going take the audience at any given turn. Thrilling stuff.” Audiocast Magazine from Austin, TX agrees: “Bundy’s live show is without a doubt an event that needs to be witnessed rather than told about. With such a jaw-dropping performance, Bundy’s live concert is a slap in the face that would leave a palm print on the memory of everyone in the audience. Read More
Elise Wunder
Elise Wunder is a Colorado-born singer-songwriter based in Fort Collins, CO. Her voice is one of oak and leather with a comforting and an unmistakably solid foundation. It will take you by surprise when she sets it loose at an unexpected moment and you realize the power that she has been holding back. She’s a cannon and a paintbrush at once.
Wunder’s style reflects the innate wisdom of an old soul. Her lyrics leave wide space for personal interpretation but are nonetheless clearly autobiographical. Her song writing (somehow wistful, promising and familiar, yet completely new) is quietly staggering. The most subtle aspect of Elise’s music is the thin line of darkness that runs through the center of it all. There is a lean towards the abyss and dark allies, yet always a returning home with something luminous in hand. The result is a body of work that feels timeless: reflective, wise, and deeply human.
