Hot off his recent European tour, world champion finger-style guitarist, Don Alder, will return to Chilliwack to perform at Tractorgrease Café on May 25.

Alder’s music is all original, a fusion of jazz, folk, roots, blues, bluegrass and world music. With his special finger-style and percussion technique he can create a wall of sound.

Alder tours the world constantly, performing in venues from the size of living rooms to arenas with his unique guitar skills and repertoire of crafted solo guitar and vocal compositions.

He has won multiple prestigious guitar awards throughout his career, including in 2015, the Dominic Troiano Award. In 2016 Don Alder was nominated again for a Western Canadian Music Award and a Canadian Folk Music Award.

“Don is one of the most original guitarists I’ve come across,” says fellow guitarist Lee Ritenour. “Unique in his acoustic guitar style, he blends great original compositions with a fantastic rhythmic foundation… always funky with irresistible grooves. He combines this with his terrific, ear-catching melodies, on top of which, he sounds like three guitar players playing at once.”

Don Alder is in concert on Thursday, May 25 at 7 p.m. at Tractorgrease Café (48710 Chilliwack Lake Rd.). Tickets $10, and available by calling 604-858-3814.
