Product Description
Pat Donohue combines the rare talent of being a superb guitar player with that of writing excellent songs. He is also a showman that weaves humor and wit into his performances. A concert with Pat can move you with his songs such as Midnight Man and then astound you with his finger dexterity as he blazed through Scott Joplin's Maple Leaf Rag. His tongue-in-cheek humor shows up in his hilarious songs Bio and Stealing From Chet while his sentimentality is apparent in Out On The Road To Kingdom Come. A concert with Pat Donohue is all-encompassing and is a richly musical experience that will leave you asking for more.

Product Description
English acoustic guitar virtuoso Martin Simpson has come a long way from his roots in Lincolnshire, Northern England. He played his first paid gig at 14, became professional at seventeen, and shortly after found himself in the vanguard on the British folk-rock movement. He has performed with such musical luminaries as Richard Thompson, Steeleye Span and Fairfort Convention, as well as working in the Albion Band and 10 years as collaborator and accompanist with June Tabor. More recently he has shared stages with Steve Miller and David Lindley, as well as recording with Ronnie Earl, Bob Brozman, Ed Gerhard and the Chinese pipe player Wu-Man. He continues to record and tour both solo and with his wife Jessica Ruby Simpson. Martin's dynamic solo guitar performances are legendary, showcasing his mastery of the acoustic guitar as well as his far- ranging repertoire. He possesses a seemingly effortless command of multiple complex styles including powerful percussive techniques, unique frailing and fingerstyles, and ground-breaking use of open tunings. This dvd presents a solo concert recorded at the Freight & Salvage in Berkeley, California.DVD:
