CLAUDE BOURBON
Claude Bourbon, Progressive Medieval & Spanish Blues finger-picking guitarist A breathtaking acoustic fusion of Blues, Jazz,Folk, Classical and Spanish guitar Claude Bourbon, who trained for many years in Switzerland and has performed and studied all over the world, has crafted an inspired fusion of classical and blues, with ethereal Eastern influences, Spanish and Latin elements with strains of Western folk.

Claude’s musical roots are blues, however, his music has and will continue to evolve over the years. Bourbon gets his musical inspiration from around the world including Spanish Middle Eastern, Russia and Europe.

Claude Bourbon takes the different sounds heard from different regions and molds them into the songs and melodies you hear at his shows.

His songs may be blues-sounding, ballads, rock, jazz or even unique and unclassifiable.
