In the traditional music world, people say John Doyle is the best Irish guitarist to come along in many years – maybe the best ever. There’s no doubt he’s one reason the guitar has become an important instrument in Irish music, where it was once almost nonexistent. http://www.johndoylemusic.com/ John has toured with, produced or played on dozens of albums, with top fiddlers Eileen Ivers and Liz Carroll, and English folk legend Linda Thompson, Kate Rusby, Tim O'Brien, Alison Brown, Maura O'Connell and nearly everyone in the world of Irish music. He’s created a style that combines rhythm and melody in a way that pleases fans of traditional music, jazz and even rock n’ roll. In a review of the band Solas, (of which he was a founding member) one critic said it seemed superfluous to have a drummer on stage while Doyle cranked out one rhythmic change after another on his guitar. His debut solo album, Evening Comes Early (Shanachie Records, 2002) showcased his singing talents for the first time and his follow-up recording, Wayward Son (Compass Records) has him now winning accolades as singer extraordinaire and a fine tunesmith to boot. John is probably the busiest man in Irish music as his powerful talents have him at the top of a lot of fellow musician's studio wish lists. John is currently music director and guitarist with Joan Baez. http://www.sterngrove.org/july12_09.html |
