Dynamic, intense and passionate are just some of the words used to describe the innovative work of instrumental guitarist and composer, Dominic Gaudious. After successfully releasing two albums and touring with an eclectic rock band in the 1980's, Dominic found his passion in the contemplative world of Classical/World Beat music. Working mainly with six & twelve-string acoustic guitars and incorporating exotic instruments such as the Australian Didjeridu, Dominic expanded on the theme and created a uniquely intricate playing style which blends the sounds of Classical, Jazz, Flamenco, Folk, and World Beat. Often compared to Michael Hedges and Leo Kottke, Dominic's appealing sound has become widely sought after for festivals, benefits and concerts such as the Race Unity Festival, PETA, Greenpeace and Citizens for a Better Environment.
He has performed at the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, the Australian Embassy, Montreux Music Festival, for National Geographic, opened for the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra, appeared with the well-respected jazz ensemble Acoustic Alchemy, The Rippingtons, and world-renowned guitarists such as Pierre Bensusan and Adrian Legg. Most recently Dominic’s music has been featured on National Public Radio, he has toured Japan, appeared with Pat Benatar, Kip Winger, was a finalist on FOX TV’s “30 Seconds to Fame” and performed at the after show party for John Petrucci, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai.
