Event Description

“With only his steel-string-acoustic guitar – and sometimes his rich, affecting voice – Bensusan can disassemble your heart and hand it back to you restored and renewed. A true giant.” – Guitar Player Magazine 

Blending traditional, contemporary, jazz, classical, and pop music with world music, ), French-Algerian guitarist/vocalist/composer Pierre Bensusan’s originality and style makes him one of today’s greatest guitarists. He was elected “Best Guitarist of World Music” by the readers of Guitar Player Magazine, and his triple album Encore won the Grand Prix of the Independent Music Awards in the category “Best Live Album.” Guitarists such as Leo Kottke, Larry Corryel, Tuck Andress, Tommy Emmanuel, Mark Knopfler, Julian Lage, Andrew York, Andy Timmons, and Steve Lukather have sung his praises, and Steve Vai released three Bensusan albums on his label Favored Nations. It’s not just guitarists who are inspired by Bensusan's music, as a recent studio collaboration on Donny Osmond’s latest album Start Again demonstrates.  Since his first performances in 1974 in France, the guitarist has sold half a million albums and given thousands of concerts around the globe, both solo and through numerous collaborations. Celebrating the 50th anniversary of his career, Victoria welcomes him back in a solo performance, after his last appearance in 1990, to TD JazzFest 2025!
