A musician who's recorded several albums for the powerhouse new age/jazz record label Narada, Billy McLaughlin's musical style is a big acoustic sound that clearly comes from his jazz and pop electric guitar training.
Bio / Background
When I am playing, I am in another zone. When I don't even think about my hands, I make fewer mistakes, and it's more emotional. It all seems to happen in a wonderful way." --Billy McLaughlin
Often, the more virtuosic the musician, the more distant and impersonal the music. With Billy McLaughlin, however, acoustic fingerstyle wizardry is only a tool, allowing the feeling in the songs to come through.
"I probably listen to more singers than anything. If I'm doing my job, I can get my guitar to be that emotive. Some people still need to hear that actual voice, but those that are open to hearing it will find it. I love all kinds of music, and I never wanted to hold back the expressive side of performing by limiting myself."--Billy McLaughlin
Billy's latest release is A Simple Gift, a new holiday recording that features a medley of "O Come Immanuel" and Peter Gabriel's "Mercy Street." Look for Finally! Live another new recording from Billy, to be released in late November of 2002.
