New ‘power Roots trio’ Touring Our Solar System

Coming to a Plant Near You !

When superbly talented guitar players get together one of two things usually happens –they either fall all over the place tripping each other up as each attempts to assert themselves or they blend like a well-prepared cocktail, sounding for all the world as if they’ve performed together all their lives. Fortunately the latter outcome is what ensues when Roots/Folk/Country picking icons Brian Gladstone, Noah Zacharin and Rick Zolkower combine to perform as the new “power-Roots” trio The Guitar Boys Of Alderon.

            The trio each brings to the combo musical sensibilities that have superior guitarsmanship in common but feature slight differences of style that somehow mesh beautifully together to create a whole far different from the parts —not unlike the way in which Jackie Washington, Ken Whiteley and Mose Scarlett form a unique trio when they combine their talents.

Brian Gladstone, regarded as one of the leading TO practitioners of Rootsy fingerstyle picking, Noah Zacharin, whose captivating waterfalls of beautiful Folk fingering are well known, and Rick Zolkower of the Alt Country band Mr. Rick & The Biscuits, each bring distinctive talents and flavours to a mix that blends as smoothly as a well-prepared cocktail.

Typicaly, each member of the trio will do one short set of their own material then the three combine, taking turns backing one another on their own material, which they’ve been rehearsing together for several weeks. The result will be a whole new sound that Gladstone says includes Bluegrass, Blues, Folk, Country and Roots stylings. It may surprise but should delight fans of each member of the group, all of whom are known to possess wicked wits likely to be on display as much as their musical prowess.
