2003 GRAMMY AWARD WINNING GUITARIST, PRODUCER AND ENGINEER
Grammy Award winning fingerstyle guitarist Eric Tingstad is well known for his impressionistic style and an uncanny ability to unearth the soul of musical landscapes creating a distinctive sense of place. It's been said by more than a few, that upon hearing just five to six notes, one can categorically determine sight unseen, it is Eric Tingstad playing guitar.
His inimitable style stands out in his latest musical offering titled, SOUTHWEST (Cheshire Records) slated for release in late 2006. A longstanding and highly visible steward of the land, Tingstad conceived this project eight years ago under the working title, "The Desert Project." Earthy and evocative, the music evokes the landscape and ancestral spirit of the great American Southwest.
"Acoustic instrumental music simply doesnt get any better period."

Hi Eric, just posted this on youtube - its Jeff Oster and myself doing an improvisation at the end of a recording session at Imaginary Road (just for fun). f
Shalom Eric, I have always loved you and Nancy's music forever it seems. I used to play Woodlands endlessly when it was in cassette format. I would like to bring it back into my live via CD but this album seems to be out of print. Any way of getting it otherwise? In the meantime, I would love for you to listen to my piano compositions and improvisations and comment on them. Happy Holidays, Shoshannah THE HEALING PIANO
