***** "GREAT MUSIC! MORE THAN A FANTASTIC GUITARIST...ALSO AN AMAZING COMPOSER!!!" RON 'BUMBLEFOOT' THAL ***** "A BRAVE GUITAR PLAYER. VERY BRAVE! I RESPECT THIS MOMENT!" MR. FASTFINGER www.guitarshredshow.com ***** "EXTRAORDINARY GUITARIST!" GUITAR NINE ***** Niko Tsonev harks back to a time when people tried to do something different on guitar, akin to Steve Vai’s Flexable era and Adrian Belew’s Lone Rhino. On “Dance of the Rooster” his guitar shreeks like a rooster strutting and in the first 2 minutes of “The Great Hawaiian Extravaganza” he moves from country to shred to Hawaiian guitar effortlessly. This debut album is full of great guitar playing and compositions, “Black Feather” is the sound of someone stretching themselves to the limits of their abilities and pulling it off in fine style. STUNTED RECORDS Debut album "Black Feather" is released digitally worldwide via most major download stores ( iTunes, Napster, Amazon, et. ) and is available now from the Stunted Records online webshop. Click on Stunted Records Logo above... ***** BIOGRAPHY As a guitarist combining the soulful depth of Blues and Country, the sophistication of Fusion and the ferocity of Shred, Bulgarian born guitarist Niko Tsonev continuously pushes the boundaries and envelopes of guitar music. Niko likes to combine a killer performance with strong song writing, and one listen to his boundary stretching playing and compositions explains why players such as Ron Thal (Bumblefoot), Mr. Fastfinger (www.guitarshredshow.com) and other great name guitarists are all impressed by his approach. As well as his work as a solo artist, he has several projects like his gypsy band The Death Orchestra. Niko has featured on records and live shows as a producer, arranger, vocalist and MD. Since arriving in London in 1996 Niko has played on shows/tours/sessions for acts as diverse as Mark Owen-Take That, Richard Ashcroft, S-Club, Toby Smith-Jamiroquai, producer Youth (Embrace, Killing Joke), producer Mushtaq (Madonna, Sugababes, Liberty X, Terry Hall), Big Brovaz and many others. Since 2004 Niko has also scored music for movies like Romans 12:20, The Bridge (2005, starring Andrea Corr) which won awards at the Hollywood and Sundance Film Festivals. Niko will be taking the show on the road in 2008 to promote his debut solo album "Black Feather". CDs : Black Feather ( 2008 ) © NTM 2009 WATCH THIS SPACE FOR TOUR DATES!
