Acclaimed finger-picking guitarist Rupert Wates plays an eclectic mix of folk, jazz, contemporary and traditional – with other touches like classical, vaudeville, and cabaret.
Rupert, who was born in London and studied at Oxford University, performs an eclectic mix of acoustic, melodic art/folk, with flavors of jazz, vaudeville, cabaret, and classical - music that a Colorado publication called 'sublime folk hymns.'
With playing perfectly suited to the fine acoustics of the church, Rupert will play two 40-minute sets with a 20-minute intermission with complementary light refreshments.
Here are just a few things that his concert hosts and the press / media have had to say about Rupert's talents.
