  • Bio

    .............. LATEST RELEASE: .. ......NEW SOLO ALBUM «CONVERGENCES» OUT NOW ON CANDYRAT.COM.. .. .... ........ .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ......Duet Album «Still Strings» on candyrat.com.. .. .... ........ ...... .. .. .. .. .. .. .... ..Antoine Dufour ..Progressive Acoustic Guitarist .. With three albums of original material released to critical acclaim, two live performance DVDs, and more than 25 million views on YouTube, Antoine Dufour has emerged as a young star of fingerstyle acoustic guitar, building a worldwide reputation for innovation and creativity. .. Antoine has toured across Canada and the UK and toured several times in USA with other artists such as Don Ross and Andy McKee. In addition, Antoine has performed at major festivals such as The Montreal International Jazz Festival. .. Antoine won the first place at the Canadian Fingerstyle Guitar Championships, placed third at the internatonal fingerpicking championships at Winfield (USA), has held seminars, workshops and masterclasses as part of his tour schedule. .. His fans have recorded countless covers of his music on YouTube and his fan base is as loyal and ravenous to see him perform as any artist out there today. .. Reviews: .. "Existence" album review, CandyRat Records, 2008; ”Dufour has subtle and effortless way of transitioning his compositions in just a few short seconds from energetic and uplifting to a soulful warm nostalgia. While melodic and accessible to any listener, his music is at the same time extremely complex both texturally and harmonically. Dufour is clearly a musician who deeply understands the nature of the guitar.” © Timothy Smith Minor 7th webzine .. International Guitar Night concert, Glasgow, Scotland, October 4th, 2007; ”The youthful Antoine Dufour's million views on Youtube are easily understood. His style packs a rock band's punch behind extraordinary fluency and features highly effective flamenco-like percussion and deftly reflective melodies as well as urgent, nimble picking.” © Rob Adams The Herald, October 16th, 2007, Glasgow, Scotland .. "Existence" album review, 2008; ”The 13-cut Existence is a wonderland of fingerpicking and highly intricate compositions soothing the soul as they engage the mind. Dufour's riffs are incredible, never-ending, and at times seemingly impossible for human fingers to pull off.” © Mark S. Tucker Folk & Acoustic Music Exchange 2008 .. ......CDS, DVDS, TRANSCRIPTIONS & DOWNLOADS HERE.. .. .... ...... ......MORE VIDEOS HERE.. .. .. .. .... .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ............................Events.... by Eventful.. .... ............ ..
