MUSIC

For nearly 25 years, Acoustic Alchemy has pushed the limits of the acoustic guitar's potential by embracing a spectrum of musical styles ranging from straightahead jazz to folk to rock to world music and beyond. In the two and a half decades since their earliest recordings - despite a tragic setback in the late 1990s and the inherent challenges of the 21st century music industry - the group has assembled and sustained a vast and loyal following that stretches well beyond their U.K. origins.
