Steve Baughman is one of the most respected Celtic-based guitarists active today. A master of arranging traditional tunes for solo guitar, he is also an ace accompanist and a composer of unusual depth. Having adapted “clawhammer” banjo technique and various alternate tunings to the guitar, Baughman has one of the most recognizable sounds on the scene, making him an in-demand performer and instructor (he is also the author of several guitar method books). Steve has taught at more than 80 camps across the US, Canada, and Europe. He is always available to sit under a tree and give students individual attention they need. His “pandemic project“ was to arrange, master, and then record a CD of the music, all on one guitar. The result is his latest album: Once Upon a Harp which Acoustic Guitar magazine calls “a glorious and thoroughly satisfying collection.” “Baughman’s playing has the perfect combination of a light touch, rhythmic surety, and the deeply melodic sensibility necessary to deliver these instrumentals beautifully and with spirit.”  For further information: www.celticguitar.com
