Fingers Crossed

Introducing a new, all-instrumental CD from virtuoso guitarists Steven Hopp and Richard Houser, entitled Fingers Crossed, with 11 original compositions that cover an emotional landscape from pensive to full-speed ahead. The artists (inspired by greats such as Larry Carlton and Michael Hedges) take an exciting angle on progressive jazz and new age fusion, while providing an expressive variety of styles including classical ("Dawn Chorus", "Nocturne"), modern jazz ("Insoucient"), acoustic duet (title track, "Tinker's Dam"), new age ("...Light Years"), rock ("In The Grease") and Eastern-European folk ("Kobarid", "Droshky"). Indeed, Fingers Crossed contains well-composed and performed acoustic pieces that transcend style and will appeal to those who love excellent guitar music.
