BRUCE MATHISKE

"The Authentic Guitar Virtuoso!" - Bruce Elder Sydney Morning Herald

…and once described as uninhibited by direction, it is now clear that guitar genius Bruce Mathiske’s many eclectic music influences have evolved into a style all of his own. Mathiske is bringing his exciting world music experience to major concert stages across the country.

As well as his usual solo guitar virtuosity, his new 5 piece band “Rhythm Express” featuring Percussion, Ukulele/Charango, Guitar and Double Bass will take Sting, U2, Peter Gabriel, Muse, Robert Palmer, Deep Purple (just to name a few) on a global rhythm journey by injecting world sounds and a lot of himself into some of their renowned songs. By combining their melodies with sophisticated arrangements and improvisation, this makes a very dynamic and unique musical experience. This is his biggest concert tour to date and will be the album launch of his new CD “Guitar-Uoso”. Released through MGM, Guitar-Uoso is available in stores now. Every track off the CD will be performed at the show and expect an entertaining night of stringed excellence with infectious rhythms from far flung corners of his guitar and beyond.

Bruce has travelled the world and most recently as the “Rhythm Hunter” filming some music documentaries where he finds and demonstrates why and how music/musicians/instruments define and reflect the history of it's people. It’s through these travels that he has found the diverse colours of music and rhythms from Latin America, Africa and The Mediterranean and some flavours of gypsy, flamenco and jungle and infused them into his already diverse and unique style. A new genre borne out of his fiery fretwork unique to Mathiske, has been encapsulated in his new CD – “Guitar-Uoso”. The genre is Music, that’s right no fancy titles no pigeon hole, just music and the crowds love it! The tour kicks off through Australia and includes Canberra, Sydney and Melbourne as well as regional NSW and VIC. Catch him at a venue near you.
