Born and based in British Columbia, Calum Graham has been making waves in the global music scene for well over a decade. Calum won first place at the 2010 Canadian Fingerstyle Guitar Competition when he was 17, a feat unprecedented for a teenager in the festival's history. In 2011, he won the Canada’s Walk of Fame nationwide “A Song For Canada” contest based on his poetic acuteness.

Calum has issued ten solo and collaborative albums, and scored several films. He is distinguished by his passionate and emotionally expressive original compositions and is recognized as one of the World’s Top 30 Guitarists under 30 by Acoustic Guitar Magazine.

"Calum Graham is an amazing guitarist. He is the rare kind of artist who is not only a great virtuoso on his instrument, but also a wonderful composer.”   Michael Chapdelaine

His repertoire includes songs written for the Acoustic, Baritone, and Harp Guitar, where innovative compositions meet breathtaking skill. Some of his biggest influences include Michael Hedges, Don Ross, Andy McKee, and Antoine Dufour and his original compositions will take you on a journey that will linger long after the final note. Calum continues to write, teach, and tour throughout Canada, the US, Europe, and Australia.

Calum Graham has solidified a bright future for the guitar. He moves us forward with a powerful original musical voice while paying tribute to those who paved the way before him. A prime example is his composition “The Nomad;” the composition is 100% Calum’s original voice, yet it magically conjures up the spirit of Michael Hedges. Every note Calum plays is filled with honesty, integrity, passion, and joy. This is great news for the rest of us, because many notes come our way during a performance!”  Thomas Clippert

Award-winning violin legend Tim Kliphuis (Holland) teams up with America’s rising star on gypsy jazz guitar Jimmy Grant (LA) to celebrate the music of famed musical duo, Stéphane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt. Re-creating the 1930s in Paris, and drawing inspiration from current-day classical and folk music as well, they alternate moments of dazzling interplay with melancholy and sheer exhilaration, in an inspired conversational journey that is different every night.

“Superb ... a provocative meeting of minds” - Sunday Times

Tim Kliphuis is a master of the violin and a wizard of sound. Using classical, gypsy jazz and folk he has created a unique style that is making waves in concert halls across the globe. His recent successes have led to a Sony Classical recording contract and a performance for the Dutch King and Queen.

Tim has shared the stage with legends Frankie Gavin, Richard Galliano and Les Paul and has been lauded for his musical genius by Nigel Kennedy. He was awarded the Scottish Jazz Award (International), has collaborated with the Richard Strauss Festival, Netherlands and Tallinn Chamber Orchestras, the Cape Town Philharmonic and curates the Fiddles on Fire Festival in Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

Jimmy Grant grew up with bluegrass, folk, celtic and classical and soon gravitated towards the music of Django Reinhardt, studying with acclaimed jazz guitarists Jim Nichols and Howard Alden. He cites Bach, Joe Pass and Benny Goodman as his main influences.

Jimmy has performed with David Grisman and European musicians Ludovic Beier (accordion) and Paulus Schäfer (gypsy guitarist), Gonzalo Bergara, as well as the Hot Club of San Francisco. He performs from coast to coast with Velvet Caravan, a Savannah-based internationally touring group.

Guitarist, Composer, Producer and Musical Director, Kyran Daniel began his career performing alongside Tommy Emmanuel on stages spanning the globe.

‘I knew at that time he would be an incredible force in music…he was always received with thunderous applause and standing ovations…’ - Tommy Emmanuel

His debut album ‘Per Se’ became a highly influential work in the acoustic guitar world, opening the door to his attendance at Berklee College of Music studying under the greatest songwriting & production professors in contemporary music.

Kyran then focussed on the roles of songwriter & producer for a cohort of Australian artists. 2022 saw Kyran return to his most authentic musical form as a solo artist, with sold-out concerts including the opening of ‘The Picasso Century’ at NGV International, and a triumphant return to European and American stages alongside mentor Tommy Emmanuel.

‘likely the most influential acoustic guitar composer of his generation … publicly unsung, his pieces have shaped the progression of the art form since his emergence onto the world stage, only growing stronger through his dormancy … we’re excited to see what this master of the guitar presents in his renaissance’
