From the wild and misty Oregon coast, Tony Kaltenberg is a powerhouse of the mystical guitar tradition. With roots and influences from Fahey, Kottke, and Hedges, Tony creates a distinctive sound as a guitarist and composer. His mesmerizing percussive style has been highlighted on radio and television programs as well as performances worldwide. Kaltenberg has and continues to collaborate with several musicians throughout the world. The sounds he coaxes from the guitar range from sweet, warm finger-styles, to deep, percussive string slaps. From long mystical music threads to rhythmic explosions, he also throws in some velvety tenor vocals for a variety-packed concert.
“I love watching him play. He gets his whole body into it. He can come back anytime and share his wonderful gift.”– Sherylin Rawlins, ‘Breitenbush Retreat Center’
Joining Tony for this Yachats concert are Michael Manring on bass and Jarrod Kaplan on Percussion. What do Tony, Michael Manring, and Jarrod Kaplan have in common? They all stand out as exceptional innovators of their craft. They have been collaborating on stage and in the studio for the past decade and continue to create stunning instrumental music that moves the body, mind, and sound in equal measure. The band can best be described as an acoustically influenced effervescent power trio for the 21st century. Their new CD, the Thread of Joy, is out now and receiving great reviews.
Hailed by many as the world’s leading solo bassist, Michael Manring has been pushing back the boundaries of what’s possible on the bass guitar for over four decades. He has honed his skills on hundreds of recordings as a session musician and thousands of concerts throughout the world. Manring has garnered two Gold Records, Grammy and Bammie nominations, a Berklee School of Music Distinguished Alumni Award, and numerous Bass Player Magazine Reader’s Poll Awards including 1994 Bassist of the Year.
