Skanson and Hansen in Peace, Earth and Guitars- Ages 12 - adult

Peace, Earth & Guitars brings to the world a new and exciting sound. The double finger style guitar duo of Darren Curtis Skanson (classical guitar) and Gregg Hansen (acoustic guitar) have a sound so unique you have to hear it to believe it. The combination of nylon and steel strings delights and soothes audiences everywhere.

Imagine Andres Segovia meets Chet Atkins....

Among their vast catalog of tunes are fresh arrangements of such 60's and 70's conscious classics as the Beatles-"All You Need Is Love" and "Blackbird", John Lennon's "Imagine", 'One Love'  by Bob Marley, and Dylan's "Blowin' in the Wind". They even cover U2's' 90's classic - "Still Haven't Found What I'm Lookin' For". It's second nature for Skanson & Hansen  to flow from American folk tune "Shenandoah" to Bach's "Bouree in E Minor" to Clapton's "Tars In Heaven" and back.

While you're  bathing in this lush, rich sound you will notice several musical influences coming through their clever musical arrangements. You'll hear classical, folk, flamenco, celtic, jazz, reggae, country, blues, and yes - even rock-n-roll. Their new CD says it all -Peace, Earth and Guitars / "Two Guitars Can Change the World" -  even though it's instrumental music - you'll be singing along within minutes.
