Everyone can relate to it on that level. ” Part sporting event part comedy show all celebration.

I was just thinking about this. Since we’re performers we try to entertain. Instrumental guitar music isn’t the easiest market to entertain people in but we are always finding new ways to entertain ourselves as musicians and therefore if we’re not bored on stage then our audience won’t be. Because of this our music has a large compositional element to it both on the record and on stage and we try and mold that framework to connect with the listener or the live audience. Matt: With the two distinct backgrounds Baltic music and fingerstyle do you find that your audiences are a reflection of this diversity? That people are there who only know Goran’s music or only Andreas’ and aren’t sure what to expect from the duo or does your audience tend to be people who just love guitar in general and are there for that element of the performance?Goran: It’s important for us to try and describe the music in the best possible way before the show. When people read that I play Balkan or classical music they get one mental picture. When they see the saxophone on the cover of the CD they associate that with jazz so we try and call ourselves Baltic-classical-acoustic-jazz and that tends to sum things up.

No Marquise Knox is not one of those young fast and in-your-face guitar players. Marquise Knox seems to have sat down and taken a good look at this music at the ones who came before him and made it his own. He seems to have that certain something that a really good blues player has. I don’t know exactly what or how to describe it but once you listen to and watch this young man I think that you would have to say “Yeah man this guy has it. ” It of course is the blues and all that goes with it.
