Don will perform songs from his various albums, including new songs from his upcoming CD titled “Armed & Dangerous”. He will be performing all original material including fiery guitar instrumentals that will put you on the edge of your seat, and singing with a voice that will soothe your soul.

One could describe his music as “fusion folk, blending pop and instrumental music” while others say “new world fusion with a hint of bluegrass”. Don describes it as “honest music from the heart”. His music is a unique combination of deeply textured melody and story. Lyrical and compelling, his original songs are notes of exploration – some passionate and haunting, some hard-driven, others light and teasing.

In the quiet tunes, or pushing right to the edge, Don’s phenomenal finger style playing and rich voice captivate. Don, often referred to as the “Hendrix” of Acoustic Guitar is a Multi-Award Winning Acoustic guitarist; 2013 International Branding Laureate Award (only two acoustic guitarists to receive this – Tommy Emmanuel and Don Alder); First at the 2011 Guitar Idol Worldwide – held in London UK; First in the 2010 Guitar Player Magazine, Guitar Superstar Contest – North America; and First in the 2007 International Fingerstyle Championships in Winfield, Kansas.
