Bryan Aspey: Guitarist

Seemingly divergent musical paths have always landed Bryan Aspey in good company: by the age of 16 he held the guitar chair in Virginia's All-State Jazz Ensemble, performed with jazz pianist Billy Taylor icon, and played with guitarist Pat Metheny icon in a televised broadcast.

After completing his studies in Jazz Improvisation, Composition and Audio Engineering at James Madison University, he toured widely and recorded with Scottish fiddle sensation Bonnie Rideout icon. Having played to sold out crowds across the country and abroad, he has also been warmly welcomed at home in the Washington, DC area at the John F. Kennedy Center Concert Hall, the Barns of Wolf Trap, and the Meyerhoff Symphony Hall.

Aspey has since continued his studies with renowned Paraguayan guitarist Berta Rojas, and has developed a repertoire of solo guitar music from Latin America. Beyond his accomplishments as a performer, Aspey is a devoted music educator, composer, producer and recording artist with four CD's to his credit, including Frozen Hours, his debut solo album.
