TECUMSEH STRING STUDIO - Key Persons

Andy Schiller is a solo acoustic guitar instrumentalist. When he hits the stage, the first song will be a fast, no-holds-barred flurry of notes, ala Andy McKee's "Drifting" or Kaki King's "Playing with Pink Noise". The percussive techniques and two-hand tapping add a visual element to the musical performance that keeps the audience's eyes glued to the stage. The set then continues with original compositions. These are melodic finger-style pieces, where Andy obviously draws upon his classical guitar training. The tasteful use of loops and effects in a handful of the songs brings a welcome variety of tones to the set. A few covers from 80s pop groups add a surprising twist to the set of solo acoustic percussive guitar. This is an all-instrumental solo performance… no singing!
