User:Smithla8/Damon Buxton

Damon Buxton is a ﬁngerstyle solo acoustic guitarist and composer working in the tradition of the Windham Hill artists. Picking up the guitar at age twenty-one, Buxton taught himself to play and, in the process, developed the soulful ﬁngerpicking style that remains his trademark.

Career
After initial success with a demo release, "Sketchbook One," Buxton established a recording collaboration with Will Ackerman, Grammy award-winning founder of Windham Hill Records, who produced his 2007 release, Forgiving Dreams. Of this recording, RJ Lannan of Zone Music Reporter writes, “Like a writer who speaks volumes with a few words, Buxton’s sparse style shouts to the rooftops that the musical voice you hear is one to be reckoned with.”

Buxton's latest recording, Rotation Of Earth, was released on April 8, 2010.
