By: Tyler Peterson
On Wednesday, Apr 27, internationally-renowned French-Algerian acoustic guitarist, singer and composer Pierre Bensusan's (www.pierrebensusan.com) returns to the DC region, gracing the stage of Jammin' Java in Vienna, Virginia on his 2016 North American tour - as part of his fifth decade of worldwide touring!
Pierre began this tour with a stellar performance in The Bridge Jazz Festival and it garnered him yet another rave review, this time from Greg Haymes of the Albany Times Union who wrote: "Friday's edition of the Bridge Jazz Festival also featured French-Algerian acoustic guitarist Pierre Bensusan. His dazzling fretboard work and equally compelling scat singing proved without a doubt that he was worthy of a slot at the jazz fest." - Bensusan's 3-CD set titled 'ENCORE', an ambitious and expansive retrospective collection celebrating his 40 years as a globetrotting concert performer won in the "LIVE PERFORMANCE ALBUM" category at the 2014 INDEPENDENT MUSIC AWARDS (The IMAs). His CD set was nominated early in the year and through votes from the listening public was ALSO awarded the prize of "Vox Pop Winner (the fan-determined portion of The IMAs)," receiving more votes than any other artist in any other category!
