Cian Nugent

Luckily, no one ever told young Irish guitarist Cian Nugent how. His self-taught guitar style led to creating unconventional acoustic compositions. Nugent’s busy hands spin out 20 minute-long tracks built around ever expanding motifs. His diversity emerges from entangled notes to simplistic melodies to fingerpick around. He showcases versatility with touches of shoegaze distortion, free-jazz inimitability and minimalistic percussion.
