Discover the genius of acoustic guitarist Pierre Bensusan on June 19th

Pierre Bensusan is a fine contender for the title "greatest musician you've never heard".  Over a 35 year career which has taken him to every corner of the globe, his unique style has developed on his own terms, never being diluted by the pressure to conform.  His latest release "Vividly", combines exquisite solo guitar pieces with an equal number of passionate vocal performances.
 
Bensusan's music was described by the UK's Melody Maker as having "the easy inevitability of true genius" - a label with which legions of passionate fans are only too quick to concur.  Indeed, Bensusan is the kind of artist who, like an initiation to a secretive society, many fans discover through a personal and reverent introduction from a friend or family member.
 
Despite his relative obscurity within mainstream music, Pierre is a highly regarded and influential musician.  UK folk legend Davy Graham (sighted by most as the inventor of the DADGAD guitar tuning also employed by Bensusan) on meeting Pierre said:
"Now that Pierre is here, I no longer need to play guitar!" 
Australian guitar legend Michael Hedges wrote a piece titled "Bensusan" in dedication to his admiration of Pierre's work.
