John Renbourn explores the guitar in unusual and beautiful ways, all the while taking his listener through a rich musical landscape of warm vocals and witty asides. The consummate fingerstylist plays a unique folk-baroque fusion of British and Celtic folk music with jazz, blues, ragtime, classical, Middle Eastern, and pre-Renaissance music. Co-founder of British ensemble Pentangle, whose pioneering combination of traditional folk with jazz improvisations inspire guitarists across the globe, John' s recent album, Traveller's Prayer (Shanachie), focuses on traditional Irish and English songs.
