The D's, Galen Fous Collective

[QUIET GUITAR STORM] Galen Fous is one of those musicians who quietly flies below the radar in Portland. The master guitarist is most often seen providing a backdrop of quiet melodies at events and wine and coffee bars. But listen closely to what Fous plays and you'll hear a vast network of influences coming to bear through his finger-picked style. There's a touch of Pat Metheny's fusion lyricism, some Fahey-style folk, and even a bit of post-punkish tonality reminiscent of artists like the Durutti Column and early Everything but the Girl. Fous performs tonight with a backing band that features percussion, bass and woodwinds.
