Mike Tamburo

Experimental / Psychedelic / Trance

Pittsburgh, PA

Billboard

Pittsburgh-based Mike Tamburo has been an increasingly prolific presence on the underground scene since the late 1990s, initially with the groups Meisha and Arco Flute Foundation, more recently as a solo artist. While his previous bands mostly operated in a space-rock/ambient post-rock territory, Mike's solo work usually begins with the acoustic guitar; inspired by American folk traditions (via John Fahey and the like), he expands outward to include influences from avant-garde to noise to modern compositional music. A Tamburo performance often includes both subtle fingerpicked guitar and swirling walls of sound generated by a raft of effects, and is always a very transportive experience. Tamburo also runs the New American Folk Hero label, which continues to release an eclectic roster of creative and experimental musics.
