Visit Portfolio Coffeehouse for an intimate evening of finger-style acoustic guitar featuring Scot Ryder & Acoustic Realms, Saturday, April 28, from 7:00pm to 9:00pm. This is not the first time Scot has played at Portfolio and he brings quite a crowd with his talent.
Scot Ryder is an energetic fingerstyle acoustic guitarist hailing from San Diego whose style can be described as a mix of folk, classical and flamenco, blended with harmonics, tapping, percussive guitar slapping. His playing has often been compared to guitarists such as Preston Reed, Michael Hedges and Stephen Bennett. Ryder’s debut solo recording, Inspiration, was released this past April. Previously, he’d been touring with medieval folklore band, Enchanted Realms, with two release to their credit including Enchanted Realms (2010) and Medieval Tales (2009). Ryder’s guitars of choice include a Taylor 712ce and 514ce for studio recordings, and a Taylor 414ce and 514ce for live performances. Ryder is a member of the AFM (American Federation of Musicians) local 325 and owns San Diego’s largest rehearsal & recording facility, Superior Sound Studios and Room 16 Recording Studio.
