Trace Bundy must be seen, not just heard.  His music is poetry in motion, using harmonics, looping, multiple capos, and his unique banter and stage presence to deliver an unforgettable live concert experience.  Listening to his intricate arrangements is one thing, but seeing the fan-dubbed "Acoustic Ninja" play live confounds even the most accomplished music lovers as to how one person can do all that with just two hands and ten fingers.

Trace has independently sold over 98,000 albums on his record label, Honest Ninja Music, and regularly sells-out shows with standing ovations at venues across the USA and around the world, in 26 countries and counting.  Video clips circulate virally at astonishing speed, with over 33,000,000 YouTube views to date.

Trace was named "Most Promising New Talent" of 2008 by Acoustic Guitar Magazine, as well as winning third place in the magazine's "Best Fingerstyle Guitarist" category the same year.  Last summer, he performed at Colorado's Red Rocks Amphitheatre in front of a crowd of over 7,000 people, as part of The World's Largest Music Lesson.  Over the past couple of years, Trace has shared the stage with Brandi Carlile, Olivia Newton-John, Neko Case, Judy Collins, Nitty Gritty Dirt Band, Phil Keaggy, David Wilcox, David Knopfler (Dire Straits), Bill Nershi (String Cheese), Laurence Juber (Paul McCartney & Wings), Chris Hillman (the Byrds), and Stanley Jordan, among others.

Jimmy Leslie at Guitar Player Magazine blogs “It was easy to see why Bundy plays bigger venues on each tour. In his hands, the acoustic guitar is an imagination station, and there was no telling where he is going take the audience at any given turn. Thrilling stuff.”

Dave Kirby from the Boulder Weekly says "Possessing a staggering acoustic technique, on both right and left sides, Bundy has made his reputation as a next generation solo guitarist of serious repute."

Audiocast Magazine from Austin, TX agrees: "Bundy's live show is without a doubt an event that needs to be witnessed rather than told about. With such a jaw-dropping performance, Bundy's live concert is a slap in the face that would leave a palm print on the memory of everyone in the audience."

Hi All

A quick one...:) 

I have had a passion for guitar since the first time I saw my mom pick up her 1950's Framus when I was about three...Most of my life I have only tinkered around and considered myself a bedroom guitarist. I have done all the genre's  - Rock, Blues, Shred...but that all seemed senseless until l found my acoustic voice.  

As I got older, life's events and losses have left me feeling that something was missing. In a day job spent in the cut throat world of mineral exploration filled with excessive travel, excitement and adventure I figured out that I was neglecting my only emotionally fulfilling constant - Music! The process of creating, sharing and listening made me know that all my joys and sorrows are part of something beyond my comprehension and so infinitely valuable. 

Although being very new to this forum...I have fallen in love with it! I have discovered for lack of better terms a family of like-minded dreamers and romantics now bound together by invisible threads. What an awesome place be...

Light to all....:)

Fred
