As a young working musician in London in the 1970s Laurence Juber got an extraordinary break when Paul McCartney picked him to become lead guitarist in his band, Wings, and the rest is history. Several decades, uncountable performances, and numerous critically acclaimed albums later, he's known as a world-class guitar virtuoso, the kind of guy Fingerstyle Guitar magazine would, and did, name "Fingerstyle Guitarist of the Year." Along the way, he won two Grammy Awards, including a Best Rock Instrumental award for the track "Rockestra" from the Wings album, Back to the Egg. As a studio and touring musician he has worked with such artists as George Harrison, Ringo Starr, Paul Williams, and Al Stewart, and his guitar playing is featured on films such as Dirty Dancing and Good Will Hunting as well as many television shows.
Tonight Laurence features numbers old and new, including arrangements of Beatles songs and pieces from his new CD, One Wing, a solo guitar collection drawn from the Wings repertoire, all featuring his unique fingerstyle technique and extensive use of alternate tunings.
