Michael Friedman & Paul Pikat, Vancouver (Canada)

Two exceptional guitarists and singer/songwriters from Vancouver (Canada) on one stage. Entertaining, cheerful, and breathtakingly professional. Michael Friedman, “an outstanding singer and consummate musician,” as the press enthusiastically writes, is primarily a singer/guitarist/songwriter. Those who wish to lean on the German term “Liedermacher” may do so—but should take into account that the clocks tick differently in North America. You would never guess it from Paul Pigat, but behind that modest grin and those Doc Watson glasses lies one of the most restless, explosive musical visions ever condensed with great intensity into a single body. Blessed with the brilliance of a jazz musician, a rockabilly heart, and the soul of a drifter, there are not many music genres that Pigat's wandering imagination does not attract like a magnet. These two masters of their craft are now coming together to Europe.
