BRIAN GORE: GUITAR POET

The new album, “Seek the Love You’re Yearning,” is now available.

The songs reflect my belief that everyone can find the courage to reject their past neglect and abuse, which may hold them back from finding their heart’s desire. Lacking love leads to ills like the lure of false liberty and the destruction of our planet. For this reason, the songs on the album are both personal and political.

The album represents a seven-year transition to being a singer-songwriter. 20 years of playing in International Guitar Night shaped my unique, heartfelt guitar-playing style. So, I now do both instrumental guitar and singer-songwriting. In this sense, I am similar to Leo Kottke, Bruce Cockburn, and Richard Thompson. I feel akin to Michael Hedges, Joni Mitchell, David Crosby, and Nick Drake.

On the album, I am joined by Greg Leisz on pedal steel, who has worked with Joni Mitchell, Lucinda Williams and Jackson Browne. Michael Manring and Charlie Bisharat, who both worked with Michael Hedges, also joined me. Jim Kimo West, the guitarist for Weird Al, made arrangements and production.

Rob Griffin, the sound engineer for Wayne Shorter, Herbie Hancock, and Michael Hedges, did the final mixes. Harold LaRue did the mastering. Greg, Charlie, Jim, Rob and Harold are all Grammy winners, and Michael is a Grammy nominee.

I have a radio promoter and publicist lined up to support the release. I hope you listen to the album and let me know what you think!

Who is the Guitar Poet?

Known as a “poet of the guitar,” Brian Gore’s emotive, expressive style combines influences from folk, jazz and classical music. A unique voice is a rare and special thing in the world of solo guitar. To possess this requires luck, struggle and tenacity. Like wine, even for the most ingenious – a unique voice requires decades of fermentation to achieve perfection. Where this quality is concerned, it’s safe to say there’s not another vintage finer than Brian Gore; nor is there a player more unique and deserving.
