James Blackshaw

Spinning on Air | May 18, 2010
British composer/guitarist James Blackshaw creates music that can inspire a meditative state, but can also go beyond that into the ecstatic and euphoric. Playing with astonishing technique on a 12-string guitar, James creates enveloping clouds of sound. He joins host David Garland to talk about his music and his feelings behind it, and to perform in the WNYC Studio.
