Percussive finger style guitar master Preston Reed, is back at The Riverfront with a mind blowing new show on Saturday 20 September at 7.45pm.

Using the two-handed integrated percussive acoustic technique he pioneered in 1987, Reed fuses chord-based grooves, soaring melodic runs and polyrhythmic percussion that integrate the breath-taking potential of the guitar body. Preston Reed doesn’t need a band. He is the band.

Twenty-seven years after his idiosyncratic style was born, Reed’s seismic global impact has created a sea of guitarists playing in his style. Today at the height of his game, Reed's recordings and live performances still define the sound of the pioneering compositional guitar genre he invented over a quarter century ago.

Preston's live shows are full of contrasts, by turns explosive and sweetly lyrical. He riffs with the conviction and guts of a rock band, yet plays with the subtlety of the most delicate of jazz pianists. There are no fancy gadgets or gimmicky FX - just 6 strings (or occasionally 12), two hands and a daring and innovative musical imagination that crosses all boundaries.

With a career spanning over four decades this trailblazer still tours and records with a passion that flows into the hearts, heads and feet of his audience.
