Athens, GA based fingerstyle guitarist makes his Hoover Library debut
Shane Parish devotes much of his time to developing his singular and expressive voice on the guitar. He is a self-taught musician who communicates through emotion, unexpected melodicism, technical whimsy, a nuanced sense of form, and rich timbral variety, simultaneously drawing from the guitar’s history and aiming for its future.
Parish is known for his uniquely beautiful finger-style acoustic guitar work. Avant Music News described Parish as “one of the most consistently innovative finger-picking acoustic guitarists in a generation.” His 2016 breakthrough solo acoustic album, Undertaker Please Drive Slow, was released on Tzadik records. "Parish's deeply personalized spin on roots music transcends any semblances of playing it safe. More importantly, he establishes a musical conduit that pays homage to tradition while unlocking new passageways, enacted with the utmost sincerity." -All About Jazz. Parish also fronts the electric prog-punk band Ahleuchatistas
