Tingstad and Rumbel: Community

Eric Tingstad: The ancestral spirit of the American Southwest is so moving, so alive, so powerful - it transcends the here and now with an inherent sensibility as old as the land itself.

Grammy Award-winning fingerstyle guitarist Eric Tingstad is well known for his impressionistic style and an uncanny ability to unearth the soul of musical landscapes creating a distinctive sense of place.

It's been said by more than a few, that upon hearing just five to six notes, one can categorically determine sight unseen, it is Eric playing guitar. His inimitable style stands out in his latest musical offering titled, SOUTHWEST.

A longstanding and highly visible steward of the land, Tingstad conceived this project eight years ago under the working title, "The Desert Project." He envisioned an earthy and evocative mood he refers to as "Native Americana western desert chill."
