Laurence Juber
Just when I think I’ve got the style of two-time Grammy winning acoustic guitarist Laurence Juber figured out, I hear a new track – something completely different than I’ve ever heard him play before and I find myself in awe. Clearly, the former lead guitarist for Paul McCartney and Wings (1979-1981) has certainly fused folk, jazz and pop styles, but he’s so very much more. A master of acoustic finger style playing, the one thing I have never ever see him do… is show off. Given the depth of his talents, that would be easy to do, but Laurence has enough respect for the music itself, he doesn’t one-up a great tune with gimmicks. You have to love a man with enough talent to take it anywhere he wants, but enough respect for the listener to show some restraint. That, in a nutshell, is my guest, Laurence Juber. We’ll spend a good deal of the hour talking about his career, his foundation in music and learn about the wonderful things he’s involved in now. I’ve included a couple of YouTube videos for your listening pleasure. Aside from a rare guitarist, someone like say, Tommy Emmanuel, you’ll not hear anyone pick up a guitar and create music quite like this. It will be a memorable hour and I do hope you’ll join us. Now sit back, have a listen and ENJOY!

People with this kind of talent are very, very rare. I don’t know how you landed an interview with him, but I’m impressed, my friend. Can’t wait to hear this.
He is indeed, very good! Another great show on tap. I often bang my guitar in a similar fashion… to hear the different sounds I can make. Very cool, Colin!
omg, Colin, I’m over the moon with your guest! Before reading your post, I was not familiar with Laurence Juber, but now after watching these videos, especially the second one with “Stolen Glances,” I’m a huge fan and I’ve been all over the internet researching him. How did you snag him?! Wow! He is some damn good guitar player. I cannot wait till Friday! Exciting!!!
