Item Description
Two-CD set: The Robert Everest Expedition and The World on Seven Strings.
Robert Everest is a Minneapolis-based singer/songwriter/guitarist who is quickly becoming a household name in the Twin Cities' international music scene. Performing an average of 150 to 200 shows a year--locally, nationally, and internationally, he has delighted audiences around the globe with his original compositions and his vast repertoire of acoustic World Music. Latin American music makes up the majority of his repertoire, but he also plays music from Southern Europe, singing in Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese, German, Greek, and of course English. He has been featured on MPR's Talking Volumes alongside Chilean author Isabel Allende at the Fitzgerald Theatre, All Things Considered, promoting his latest solo CD The World on Seven Strings, and The Jazz Image with Leigh Kamman. He has also been interviewed and performed on KBEM's String Theory with Kevin Barnes and KFAI's programs Global Beat and Corazón Latino. KARE11 Television has invited Robert into the studio on several occasions, and WCCO TV has covered him as well.
"Locally acclaimed, globally appreciated guitarist/singer/songwriter Robert Everest knows no boundaries when it comes to music, which is readily reflected on his aptly titled 2006 release, the Robert Everest Expedition. With tracks that span ten years of composition and three continents of exploration, the CD features Everest on guitar and lead vocals, Marco Sambrotta (piano and vocals), Tony Axtell and Jocko MacNelly (bass), Michael Bissonnette and Chico Chávez (percussion), Andy Artz (drums), and Gary Schulte (violin). Everest has compiled the diversity of American culture as surely as he has integrated the traditions of Latin America and southern Europe."

"The World on Seven Strings," a new solo CD by guitarist/singer and Brazil nut Robert Everest, is his most expansive and pan-global effort yet, with gems from Argentina, France, Italy, Greece, Guatemala, Spain, Mexico, Cuba, Brazil of course and even "Mack the Knife" in the original German, plus songs he composed in Togo and Portugal -- heck, it should come with frequent-flier miles. A celebration of Everest's love affair with the "extra" seventh string on his Brazilian classical guitar..."
