When it comes to Sonny Landreth, even Eric Clapton is a fan: "He's probably the most underestimated musician on the planet, and also probably one of the most advanced." As if to back his words up with actions, Clapton honored Landreth with the #1 time-slot at his 2007 Crossroads Guitar Festival. Their amazing guitar duet, culminating with these two greats weaving in & out of each other's improvisations, can be seen here. Mark Knopfler can also be seen praising Sonny Landreth's slide guitar playing before they perform together here. Another nod came in the form of a Grammy nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Recording.
      Landreth's inventive style & techniques have brought slide playing to a whole new level. In a world where truly great guitar practitioners dot the globe like as many mountain pinnacles on our planet, Sonny Landreth's playing seems to leave him floating artfully, impossibly above. Talent in such a rarified atmosphere seems fragile & ephemeral – leaving one resolved to appreciate it while it's here, while wishing him a long, healthy and productive life!
More about Sonny Landreth

Driven by the critically acclaimed telecaster styling of MATT RAE ~ a Guitar Player Magazine "Guitar Hero 2005" top 10 finalist ~ The Matt Rae Trio performs an infectiously countrified, surf-a-billy, blues-funk-pop-jazz set of original instrumental numbers, as well as a slew of pure-pop-guitar standards that have wowed audiences throughout the northeast.
      The trio's debut CD, Twang, garnered rave reviews throughout the guitar world. Their follow-up, Tele-Pathic, also received critical acclaim from such industry publications as Vintage Guitar, 20th Century Guitar and more. Even with these two great albums, it is still their live performances that must be seen to be believed. Many have recently enjoyed Matt's guitar work with ARLEN ROTH at the Towne Crier, but he really got everyone's attention fronting his own band before a house packed with Sonny Landreth fans at the Towne Crier, proving he can hold his own with the best of them.
