Edgar Cruz

Edgar Cruz has been named Oklahoma's Best Performing Artist / Acoustic Guitarist three years in a row and has received numerous civic acknowledgments for his contributions to various charitable events. He has recently begun performing with orchestras, choirs and various musicians. Each year he performs over 200 concerts and has played throughout America, Europe and South America. He has been a headliner at The Chet Atkins Festival in Nashville, TN since 1995 and is a strong icon at most festivals in OK including Sunfest, Festival of the Arts, Paseo Festival, Global Oklahoma and more.

Those who have witnessed Cruz's performance immediately become entranced at the precision, speed and complexity with which his fingers strike the strings of his guitar to create a symphony of sound unusual to just one instrument. Bohemian Rhapsody, The William Tell Overture, Malague?a, In the Mood and MacArthur Park are just a few examples. Twelve CDs are currently available including 3 live recordings. They cover moods from Latin, Classical, International, Rock, Jazz, Mariachi, Romantic and Christmas. An instructional DVD for advanced arrangements is due in 2004.
