Master guitarist John Renbourn, a byword in the British folk-rock world since the late 1960s, returns to the Freight stage with the unique sound and rich repertoire that is the fruit of four decades of musical experimentation. Exploring the guitar in unusual and beautiful ways, this two-time Grammy nominee guides his listeners through a luxuriant musical landscape of warm vocals and a masterful folk-baroque fusion of traditional British and Celtic music with jazz, blues, ragtime, classical, Middle Eastern, and pre-Renaissance music.

Raised in southwest England, John was a co-founder of the legendary British ensemble Pentangle, whose pioneering combination of traditional folk with jazz improvisations inspired guitarists around the globe. His most recent solo album, Traveller's Prayer (Shanachie), focuses on traditional Irish and English songs.
