Winner of the 2014 The Independent Music Awards in the Live Performance Album category for his triple live album "Encore", Bensusan is recognized as one of the great guitar players of the 21st century. Described as a 'genius' by the likes of Jon Gomm and Melody Maker, immortalized by the tune 'Bensusan' written in tribute by the late Michael Hedges, and referenced as an important inspiration to many other great musicians, Pierre Bensusan is a one-of-a-kind artist whose music transcends genre and time. At the Ards International Guitar Festival (Northern Ireland), Bensusan was presented the festival's "Lifetime Achievement Award". He is in good company with previous winners including Martin Taylor, Martin Simpson, John Renbourn and J*Davey Graham.
"How the guitar would want to sound if it could play itself" ... in Pierre's music there is an uninhibited sense of musical freedom and expression, a sense of something both playful and serious, otherworldly yet right here right now.
A true musical genre-bender, Pierre is equally at home on a folk or jazz stage. Here is a brand new video from his sound check at the The Iridium jazz club in New York City, in May 2016, improvising on his George Lowden Guitars Ltd signature model: https://youtu.be/D-qfwZ7_Rhc
