Often cited as one of the world’s top fingerstyle, steel-string acoustic guitarists, Grammy nominee Alex de Grassi brings a unique voice to the art of acoustic guitar with his evocative compositions and arrangements, a highly-orchestrated sound, and sheer virtuosity. The Wall Street Journal has called his playing "flawless" and Billboard hails his "intricate finger-picking technique with an uncanny gift for melodic invention.” His playing weaves together melody, counter-melody, bass, harmony, rhythm, and cross-rhythms creating a canvas of sound unheard of in a solo guitar performance. Using a broad palette of techniques and timbre, and driven by a unique sense of composition, his rich performances take the listener beyond the instrument. His career has drawn acclaim for numerous recordings released by Windham Hill, RCA Novus, Tropo Records, 33^rd Street, and other labels.

Over the last twenty years as a soloist and collaborator, de Grassi has explored a variety of world music influences, and has stretched his repertoire to include interpretations of jazz classics and folk melodies from around the world. Alex de Grassi has toured extensively worldwide with performances at such venues as Carnegie Hall, the Interlochen Festival, Herbst Theatre in San Francisco, the Montreux Jazz Festival, and the Belfast International Festival.
