He can’t be doing that! It’s a familiar reaction to the one-man symphonies on Preston Reed’s fifteen studio albums, as he fuses chord-based grooves, soaring melodic runs and polyrhythmic percussion with his breathtaking two-handed style. Unlike many instrumentalists, the power and depth of Reed’s original songwriting is as unique as the man’s execution; blues, rock, funk and jazz meet, embrace, interlock and attack to create a sonic brew quite unlike anything you’ve heard before.

Walking onstage, he appears to be one man armed with a single ordinary guitar. Then before your eyes, Reed morphs into a fully-formed rock ‘n’ roll band, engaging acoustic, electric and resophonic guitars with a visceral display of slaps, taps, harmonic tickles and fretboard pyrotechnics that shred the rulebook and leave audiences breathless.

True spellbinding guitar mastery. (Guitarist Magazine)

Amazing… hypnotic. (The Scotsman)

Absolutely unmissable. (The Herald)
