Caruso

This name belongs to more than one band or artist: 1) Tenor Enrico Caruso, to whom some refer by last name only. 2) Self-described as "jazz singwriters" the duo dub their brand of acoustic based R&B as "coffeehouse soul." They perform exclusively with their acoustic guitars, which you tend to see in coffee shops, but there’s an unmistakable soul in their music that can’t always be captured by two guys with two guitars.

Tony McManus

To find a unique voice on so ubiquitous an instrument as the acoustic guitar is quite an achievement: to do so within a centuries old idiom where the instrument has no real history is truly remarkable. In little over ten years as a professional musician Tony McManus has come to be recognised throughout the world as the leading guitarist in Celtic Music. From early childhood his twin obsessions of traditional music and acoustic guitar have worked together to produce a startlingly original approach to this ancient art.
