JEFF AUG will be giving a DC/MD/VA exclusive peformance at the Montpelier Cultural Arts Center On Friday, 01.June 2012
guitarist & world record holder JEFF AUG will be giving a DC/MD/VA exclusive peformance at the Montpelier Cultural Arts Center in Laurel, MD. If you are interested in receiving a promotional copy of his new album Wedding Song, please reply with your complete postal address and we will get a copy out to you.
PRESS RELEASE: Guitarist JEFF AUG releases new Album, sets new World Record European tour with moe., European tour with Allan Holdsworth, and U.S.
HEADLINING TOUR IN JUNE 2012!
Born on Friday the 13th in Washington, D.C. and raised in Laurel, Maryland, Jeff Aug is a cool underground guitarist who has been living at the foothills of the Alps in Southern Germany for the last 14 years. He has toured with Allan Holdsworth, Soft Machine, Johnny A., Albert Lee, and has performed shows with Jawbox, Shudder To Think, and Ice-T & Bodycount with his old band. He's worked with John Stabb from Government Issue, has been touring and recording with Anne Clark for the last 10 years, and has been touring as a solo guitarist for the last 20 years. Jeff can also be heard on the new Atari Teenage Riot album Is This Hyperreal? released in June 2011 (Dim Mak Records / Digital Hardcore Records). He has also set the world record for the "most concerts performed in different countries in 24 hours"
twice (2009, 2012).
It´s been 3 years, 1 world record, 2 tours , 4 European tours with Anne Clark, 1 tour as support for Soft Machine, 1 European tour as support for Allan Holdsworth, 1 European tour as support for moe., countless solo headline performances across the U.S. and Europe (including Fusion Festival, Krach am Bach Festival, Klangbad Festival, and others), a major feature on the NPR show "Weekend Edition," and 6 major features in guitar magazines worldwide (including Gitarist, Guitar, Guitar Player, Akustik Gitarre, Guitar Acoustic) since JEFF AUG released his last solo album Living Room Sessions in 2009.
After a gruelling year of recording and touring which included tours with Soft Machine and Johnny A., as well as a performance supporting John Kadlecik (Furthur) in the U.S., Jeff Aug released his 5th solo acoustic instrumental fingerstyle guitar album Wedding Song on Friday, 02.March 2012.
To promote Wedding Song, Jeff Aug set a new world record for 'Most concerts performed in different countries in 24 hours´ by performing 9x concerts in 9x countries in 24 hours on March 3, 2012. We expect a confirm from Guinness Book of World Records™ in the next few weeks.
11 x days later, Aug hit the road for a string of dates which will include headliner performances, shows with the jam band sensation moe., and yet another European tour with the Jazz Fusion Guitar Legend ALLAN HOLDSWORTH.
PRESS:
The lights go down and we’re ready for some hardcore Holdsworth action. And then Jeff Aug steps out, with an acoustic six-string, and hammers seven shades of shale out of it. Support acts usually have only one purpose and that is to suck. They’re the ugly friend you go to the bar with when you’re out to score. They’re the bad stats you give the boss before you present him with the report on how you are going to save the company. They have a place in life, a rung on the ladder, and they’d better not blow the main act out of the water.
It is a brave lead guitarist who has Jeff Aug open for him. Playing what can only be described as high-speed country funk, he shreds his way up and down the strings with breathtaking speed. He also provides his own percussion, striking the body of the instrument hard enough to sound like a bass drum.
This is extreme acoustic guitar, and extremely good, rendering the audience unusually silent. - Tony Emmerson, Prague Jazz Online
