“Music For People Who Aren't In a Hurry But Seek to Imbibe at the Well of Good Taste and Style.”
-Minor 7th Guitar Reviews
Grammy-winning guitarist Bill Mize is a son of Tennessee, and a fitting representative of his state’s rich musical heritage. His critically lauded fingerstyle compositions are fluid and intricate, and their delivery masterful. Links to his Tennessee roots are unmistakable, as well as the elements of the far wider musical realm he inhabits. The mixture is as intoxicating as Tennessee moonshine, with a twist.
Bill received a Grammy Award for his collaboration with musician and storyteller David Holt on the recording Stellaluna, and has been featured on the popular guitar compilations “Windham Hill Guitar Sampler” by Windham Hill Records and “Masters of the Acoustic Guitar” by Narada Records. In 2009, Bill’s music appeared in the Ken Burns documentary “The National Parks: America’s Best Idea.” Mel Bay Productions transcribed Mize's second CD, “Tender Explorations,” into a songbook, and his original compositions have been transcribed for Fingerstyle Guitar and Acoustic Guitar magazines.
Tracy Moore
“Delicate, Dynamic, Serious, Whimsical..”
Tracy Moore is one of the worlds truly fine acoustic 12-string guitarists.
Trained in Classical Guitar and Renaissance Lute, Moore’s reputation as a premier 12-string guitarist has attracted the attention of the national press, including Guitar Player and Acoustic Guitar Magazine.
The music flowing from Moore and his 12 string guitar is delicate, dynamic, serious and often whimsical.
Moore is known for two seminal 12-string guitar albums he released in the early 1990s: “A Peculiar Point of Balance” and “Skypiece.” Moore's mesmerizing melodies are created by striking the 12 strings of his guitar individually, rather than in pairs, allowing for a wider range of texturing and melodic possibilities, creating Tracy’s signature sound.
