MICHAEL JOST: Live Performance & Record Release Party at The Rumor Mill ! photo

MICHAEL JOST is a guitarist, composer and producer who began playing acoustic guitar at the age of 10, influenced by the classical stylings of Andre Segovia and Paco de Lucia. By the time he was 14, he began playing the electric guitar. Today he is a passionate, driven, and highly skilled performer, whose influences span many time periods and several continents. He describes his music as a “travel in time and space fueled by experiences gathered playing and recording with many artists from around the world.”

As an Acoustic/Psychedelic/Rock guitarist, he has recorded three CDs of strikingly original music, including “The Dragonfly and the Hummingbirds” (2002), “MindFlowers” (2005), “SuperCosmicFuzz” (2009), and a fourth set featuring flamenco music, “The Candelas Recordings” (2010). Guitar Player magazine has hailed his work as “a fabulous celebration of acoustic and electric tones, arrangement shifts, and cagey signal processing–all lightly kissed with elements of flamenco, world beat, rock, blues, psychedelia, folk, and jazz. It’s marvelous, almost textbook music production, but Jost has the chops to make this party all about guitar.” Hear selections from Michael’s music at:http://www.myspace.com…

Michael is also a well-respected sound engineer, having worked extensively on both sides of the window as producer both of his own music and the music of other artists, most notably that of funk musician George Clinton. Additionally, Michael’s music has been featured in independent films like “Urban Pill” and “In Harm’s Way.” His new video, “Nuclear Spinach” (check it out on YouTube) has been chosen to receive the Award of Excellence in Filmmaking at the 2010 Canada International Film Festival.

We are thrilled to have MICHAEL JOST: Guitarist Extraordinaire, playing live at The Rumor Mill, Saturday, July 31st, 2010 from 7:30-10:00 pm. {This performance is a record release party for Michael’s brand-new CD, “California Burning” which will be available for purchase and signing at the show.}
