Tuesday, 20 November 2007

David Essig was introduced to Canadian audiences in 1971 as a “talented newcomer” at the legendary Mariposa Folk Festival. Now, over 30 years later, he is considered one of Canada’s finest interpreters of original, contemporary folk music. Always paying homage to his roots in Bluegrass and Country Blues, David uses these traditions to create new songs that are both timely and timeless. His intense energy and incisive wit have made him a favorite with audiences around the world.

Presbyterian Guitar is a powerful new instrumental collection of 9 traditional gospel songs, plus a pair of Essig originals, all served up in a swampy musical stew. The album contains: Three amazing slide guitar trios with fellow weissenborn players Steve Dawson and Doug Cox. David's first recorded foray into the world of Sacred Steel, featuring David rocking out, Darick Campbell style, on the mighty Fender 8-string steel guitar and a brand new trio guitar version of David's acoustic classic: Berkeley Springs, plus the wonderful rhythm section of Tobin Frank on bass and Alan Cameron on drums.

Check out David's website for information on all his Albums.
