Biography

Gareth Dickson has spent the last 3 years touring with Vashti Bunyan as her guitarist and he had the opportunity to work with great musicians like Juana Molina (a stunning duet of Gareth’s Two Trains here) and Max Richter, as well as the chance to perform in some of the great venues all over the world from the Barbican (London) to Carnegie Hall (NY) and tour with Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan.
Gareth, who hails from Scotland, writes beatiful folksongs using a steel stringed acoustic guitar and effects (delay and reverb) in his quest to recreate the ambiance of some of his more recent musical influences (Aphex Twin, Brian Eno) while drawing on the guitar techniques of some of the finger-picker guitarists of the past (Bert Jansch, Robert Johnson, Nick Drake) and creating ambient textures that bring forth memories of Labraford or Gastr Del Sol.
