 Dynamic, Intense and Passionate are just some of the words
used to describe the innovative work of instrumental guitarist and composer,
Dominic Gaudious.
After successfully releasing two albums and touring with an eclectic rock band
in the 1980's, Dominic found his passion in the contemplative world of
Classical/World Beat music. Working mainly with six & twelve-string acoustic
guitars and incorporating exotic instruments such as the Australian Didgeridoo,
Dominic expanded on the theme and created a uniquely intricate playing style
which blends the sounds of Classical, Jazz, Flamenco, Rock, and World-Beat.
He has performed at the 1996 Centennial Olympic Games, the Australian Embassy,
Montreux Music Festival, National Geographic, opened for the Atlanta Symphony
Orchestra, Pat Benatar, Kip Winger, appeared with the well-respected jazz
ensemble Acoustic Alchemy, The Rippingtons, and world-renowned guitarists such
as Pierre Bensusan, Adrian Legg and Eric Johnson. He also performed at the after
show party for John Petrucci, Joe Satriani and Steve Vai. Often compared to
Michael Hedges, Eddie Van Halen and Al DiMeola, Dominic's appealing sound has
become widely sought after for festivals, benefits and concerts such as the Race
Unity Festival, Greenpeace, Sound Support for Autism and Citizens for a Better
Environment.
Dominic’s music has been featured on Echoes, Hearts of Space, National Public
Radio and many local and syndicated stations throughout the world.
Most recently Dominic was a finalist on FOX TV’s “30 Seconds to Fame,” a
finalist and Honor Award Winner in the Great American Song Contest for his song
" Far East Fusion," nominated 2003 Best Instrumental Artist by campus awards.com
and nominated by SSA as National Radio Recording Artist of the Year.
