Sean Kelly, Where The Wood Meets The Wire, Released!
12th Sep 2011
In the hands of an artist, crossover comes alive. Canadian guitar virtuoso Sean Kelly has put real meaning into the much bandied-about term crossover. Drawing on his early classical training for the resourceful collection of music on this CD, and his storied career for the treatment, Sean has created a thoroughly entertaining and innovative delivery of well-known guitar hits.
Sean still remains artistically attached to the wonderful music that brought him to the guitar – Tarrega, Barios and Sanz. Adding to these he has recorded the Hit Tune Una Mente Criminale (A Criminal Mind-Gowan), dressed up in a new musical context that only Sean could have imagined.
On any given week Sean can be heard concertizing with his own rock band Crash Kelly, in the exclusive company of Nelly Furtado on stage, or in recording sessions and production with the double-platinum band Helix. It was from his work with Helix that Sean asked superstar Brian Vollmer to be his guest singing Ave Maria.
In a world of mixed musical styles Sean’s creative treatment of this music brings classics to a whole new audience while still remaining true to the composers’ original intent.
