Greetings From The Guitar Planet!

My name is Erik Mongrain and I am one of the world's foremost contemporary acoustic guitar player. Those who have followed my career know that I am part of the "fingerstyle" movement, but what sets me apart is the range of my techniques and the scope of my compositions. 

I've released three widely acclaimed albums in the past six years: Fates (2007), Equilibrium (2008), and Forward (2012). I’m presently working on my next set of pieces, so this is your chance to…

Get Involved!

My music is getting deeper and more intricate all the time. Composing this kind of complex, technique-rich pieces that I do is labour-intensive to say the least! I need a hand that will help me along this writing period.

Let's get to point B TOGETHER!

 

Music means time!

Want to share in my creative process? Your involvement will give me the time I need to write new pieces and get them ready for the next album.

Depending on the amount of pieces I have next winter, I could be recording what I have (3-4 pieces most likely) or I could wait 1 more year and then record a full release. We'll see how things go!

Get In The String of Things...

Your support means a lot to me, so I’ll be real anxious to give as much back as I can. The perks include signed albums, one-on-one guitar lessons on Skype – or in person for those can get to my place –, and even private shows in your very own home!

At the top level of involvement, you get to follow my progress on the piece I’m currently working on, plus you get to name that composition!

 

The Goals =)

My fundraising goal is $10 000. This will enable me to write the whole of my next album over the course of the coming year.

For every 20% that the campaign reaches, I will release a small 30 seconds teaser of a new piece I am working on or a piece that I've finished but not recorded officially!

I already have 2 new pieces finished+ working on a 3rd already! They are mesmerizing. Crazy hammer-on/tapping numbers with right-hand harmonics all over the place! They’re the most demanding I’ve ever done technically, but beautiful also, with the kinds of melodies that nestle deep into your brain. A real treat for all you guitar lovers out there!

Wanna hear ‘em? Then pledge your support!

-August 7th note: I am out of ''Forward'' CDS guys! If the campaign goes really well I will be able to print more of them! -

And remember, if you don't contribute, you can always help by sharing it as much as possible on social medias so that others may see it!
