I have two upcoming solo gigs at the Jumping Bean Cafe on Elizabeth Ave in St. John’s – Sept 27 and Oct 25!

It’s been a while since I updated – hard to keep up with everything that’s happened! My wife and I have relocated to St. John’s, NL, as she found a job at Memorial University. I’m looking forward to teaching, composing and performing here. I’ve completed my new album Opening and will release it on Oct 11.

My first new recording here is this loose interpretation of the Beatles’ classic “Michelle”, which I’d been working out in gigs at Aladdin Roastery and the Ottawa Guitar Society’s open mic nights: https://soundcloud.com/sundar-subramanian/michelle

I’m going to perform again with David Campbell at 1:30 pm on Saturday May 11 at Aladdin Roastery at 774 Blvd St-Joseph in Gatineau (Hull). Spend the afternoon with a coffee and new guitar music!

Je vais jouer des morceaux pour la guitare seule ainsi que des duos avec David Campbell à 13h30 le samedi 11 mai à la Brûlerie Aladdin à 774 Blvd St-Joseph à Gatineau (Hull). Passez l’après-midi avec un café et de la musique originale!

I’m going to do some more guitar soli and duets with David Campbell at the Happy Goat on Elgin St. on January 26. Hope to see you there!

Here’s a clip David recorded of a new piece I premiered on Friday at the Happy Goat, layering solos and loops over a bossa nova groove.

Going to play a solo set, with some new material, at the Happy Goat at 145 Main St., Ottawa, on Oct 20, with local guitar great David Campbell also doing a set. We plan to do a few duets as well.

A quick, fun Canada Day project: yesterday morning, the great Canadian guitarist and educator Matt Warnock shared his arrangement and backing tracks for a solo over the changes of the Schwarz/Dietz standard “Alone Together”, in the style of the late Canadian guitar great Ed Bickert, using some direct quotes. To celebrate the day and pay tribute to two greats, I learned and recorded his arrangement by that night, adding my own solo just after 2:00.

“Locating Echoes”, a new solo guitar/electronics piece of mine was included on the Ottawa Experimental Music Comp II compilation, released today.
