Es ist nicht einfach, die schier endlose Mischung verschmelzender Einflüsse im Spiel dieses erstaunlichen Streichmeisters zu beschreiben ... Er bewegt sich von einem klassischen Anfang mit fast höflicher Musik über den Kontinent bis zum Blues des Mississippi-Deltas, von den Balearen bis zum Balkan, und dann zurück in die Vereinigten Staaten. Ein spanischer Blues entwickelt sich zu Zigeunermusik, reist nach Osteuropa, mit einem Schuss Paco de Lucia, dann einem Hauch Delta-Melodien und mehr. Auch Einflüsse von Richie Blackmore, Joaquin Rodrigo, J. J. Cale und sogar J. S. Bach sprechen für sich. Claude Bourbon hat ein tadelloses Timing und schafft auf sechs Saiten Dinge, die einfach erstaunlich sind. Erleben Sie eine atemberaubende akustische Fusion aus Blues, Jazz, Folk, Klassik und spanischer Gitarre.
„Claude Bourbon beschreibt sich selbst treffend als Musikkünstler. „Er nutzt eine Vielzahl von Musikinstrumenten, um eine Landschaft zu malen, die wir alle entweder persönlich oder in unseren Träumen besucht haben.“ Mary Pat Cooney – FolkWorks „

Claude Bourbon, (progressive blues) Biography
“A breathtaking acoustic fusion of blues, jazz, folk, classical and Spanish guitar from a stunning guitar virtuoso…”Altadena News, USA”
Ready for a unique and talented take on a wide range of musical traditions? 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. Thousands of people in the UK, Europe and USA have enjoyed listening to this virtuoso and for the majority of his audience it is an experience that compels them to return again and again to hear and watch him play, as his fingers lightly dance over the strings of his guitar and create a unique sound that is ’Claude’.
Claude Bourbon weaved his songs through the audience as if on a journey through life taking in different flavors of Europe and beyond. It is very hard to describe the almost endless amalgam of different influences in Claude's playing, all melting into each other, as he moves from classical openings, across a whole continent of cultural roots, from the Balearic’s to the Balkans, and then across to the Mississippi Delta, and shoehorned into all that is music that would not have been out of place in the courts of Emperors and Kings.
Claude has shared the stage in Europe and the USA with countless musicians, Calvin Russel, Charlie Morgan (Elton John, Gary Moore), Jan Akkerman (Focus), Steve Grossman (Miles Davis), Herbie Armstrong ( Van Morisson), Jose barrense Dias and many more.
“ Claude Bourbon is a unique figure today… his playing is almost indescribable“ - The Hook, Charlottesville, USA
"Never heard anyone get that much beautiful sound out of a J-45", Bob, Tucson, AZ
"...His fingerpicking is exquisite and if I closed my eyes I could clearly hear two guitars playing. Just when I recongnised a theme he moved on with a mesmerising cascade of notes which kept on flowing. He added a driving bass, for a version of “She knows how to stretch it”. By the time he sang the first verse he had ‘stretched it’ from Spain to the Caucuses, and from the concert hall to the bar room. His forte is obviously his wonderful guitar work, but he does occasionally burst into song and what you then get is something between Bob Dylan and Cat Stevens, combined with a French accent! C’est magnifique.” Dave Baily
