Benefitting the Palm Beach Dolphin Project
Richard GilewitzRichard began playing the local coffeehouse circuit while pursuing degrees in Computer Science, Mathematics, and Music at the University of Alabama. Following graduation, Richard first joined the world of flight simulation design, telemetry and satellite systems before focussing on his music career.
His rousing performances are filled with amazing chops, humor, and a history of the acoustic guitar from blues to folk, traditional to classical and everywhere in between.
In addition to his concert performances and recording sessions, he is well-known for his “Meet the Artist Program” for primary, middle and high school students. In addition, his well received group seminar sessions for college music departments reflect Richard’s vision that music is an art of many spectrums.
Whether playing solo, conducting guitar seminars and school programs, or sharing the stage with fellow performers (including Leo Kottke, John Prine, Kenny G, John Hammond, America, Mike Cross and Tim May), Richard Gilewitz always creates a sparkle of mood mastery and wonderment.
