Geoff Muldaur – Guitar Artistry of Geoff Muldaur

Geoff has a voice like nobody else. When he sings you just have to listen. He has a way with a song that makes you wish it would never end. The combination of Geoff’s amazing voice and the way he wraps it

around a song makes his music irresistible. -Tom Rush

There are only three white blues singers and Geoff Muldaur is at least two of them. -Richard Thompson

Geoff Muldaur is one of the great voices and musical forces to emerge from the folk, blues and folk-rock scenes centered in Cambridge, MA and Woodstock, NY. During the 1960’s and 1970’s, Geoff made a series of highly influential recordings as a founding member of the Jim Kweskin Jug Band and the Paul Butterfield’s Better Days group, as well as collaborations with then-wife Maria and other notables (Bonnie Raitt, Eric Von Schmidt, Jerry Garcia, etc.).

He left the stage and recording world in the mid-1980’s for a working sabbatical but continued, however, to hone his craft, albeit ‘flying beneath radar’. He composed scores for film and television, garnering an Emmy in the process, and produced offbeat albums for the likes of Lenny Pickett and the Borneo Horns and the Richard Greene String Quartet. And his definitive recording of “Brazil” provided the seed for – and was featured in – Terry Gilliam’s film of the same title.

With his magical voice and singular approach to American music intact, Geoff is once again touring the world. Recent performances have included The Lincoln Center in New York City, The Getty Art Center in Los Angeles, Royal Festival Hall in London, as well as folk and blues festivals in Newport RI, Edmonton Canada, Dublin Ireland, San Francisco CA, Bergen and Notodden Norway to name a few. Geoff’s newest albums have met with high critical acclaim and feature Geoff’s unusually crafted interpretations of classic, oftentimes obscure, American material as well as his own unique compositions.

In addition to tours and recording, Geoff continues to apply his arranging skills to a variety of projects for albums and film. Although he is known as a musicians musician, it is clearly his voice that most identifies him.

The New York Times noted: Geoff Muldaur “…succeeds not because he copies the timbre and inflections of a down-home African American but because his voice – reedy, quavering, otherworldly – is so unusual that the music he sings becomes little more than a context, a jumping-off point.” And about a recent performance in London, The London Times wrote, “Immaculate guitar picking was matched by vocals that were rich, and bore out the guitarist. Richard Thompson’s praise for him: ‘There are only three white blues singers and Geoff Muldaur is at least two of them.'”

In this Guitar Artistry DVD, Geoff talks about his influences as well as his approaches to arranging music to the guitar. An intimate portrait of a great artist.
