Acoustic Alchemy

Event Description

For over three decades the band has been at the forefront of contemporary jazz, even if the band’s signature eclectic mix of styles has meant they have never comfortably fit snugly into any one genre; “We’ve had a lot of labels over the years, at the start there were all these names flying around like New Adult Contemporary, New Age music, and then it became Smooth Jazz, but we’ve never really thought about ourselves as being in any one particular genre. "We just make music we like.” Says Greg Carmichael, “At the core, it’s always been about one simple concept: the sound of the nylon and steel guitars working together, but that leaves a lot of scopes for exploring all sorts of musical ideas.”

The band has changed a lot over the years, with different personnel, different eras, and different influences, but we always somehow make it sound like Acoustic Alchemy. I think every band tries to do that, to make something that’s new and interesting, but the fans still hear it and go, that’s them!
