Claude Bourbon @ Kornkammer

In the organizer's words:

progressive blues

Claude Bourbon takes you on a captivating musical journey beyond borders and genres. With roots in classical guitar, his music flows effortlessly through the blues of the Mississippi Delta, the warmth of the Balearic Islands, the rich traditions of the Balkans and back again.

His style combines Spanish blues with gypsy rhythms, Eastern European melodies and a touch of flamenco, inspired by Paco de Lucía. Influences of Ritchie Blackmore, Joaquín Rodrigo, JJ Cale and even J.S. Bach are audible in his rich, complex playing.

With perfect timing and amazing technique, Claude accomplishes things on six strings that most guitarists only dream of. Experience a unique fusion of blues, jazz, folk, classical and Spanish guitar - united in one unforgettable performance.

"Claude Bourbon aptly describes himself as a musical artist. "He uses a variety of musical instruments to paint a landscape that we have all visited either in person or in our dreams." Mary Pat Cooney - FolkWorks "
