Artur Menezes
A recent Guitar Player Magazine nominee for Best New Blues Guitarists.
Arturs newest EP, AM/FM was released in September ‘23 with Black Hill Records.
Los Angeles based, Brazilian artist Artur Menezes’’ playing is a distinctive blend of fiery, hard-rocking blues that at times borders on shred, combined with an ability to effortlessly switch gears into swinging, jazz grooves.
His Brazilian roots add a unique flavor to the mix and further distinguish his playing from that of his contemporaries. Menezes' songwriting sparkles as it switches between straight-ahead blues and funk flavored workouts, and his vocals channel the deep emotional content of his songs as effectively as his guitar playing.
Arturs newest EP, AM/FM was released in September ‘23 with Black Hill Records. In addition to this release, his latest album, Fading Away, (produced by Josh Smith and featuring a guest appearance from Joe Bonamassa), was a serious step up in both writing and playing. These have laid down a clear marker for his place among the front-runners of the new breed of blues guitar heroes.
"I love how these pickups are able to deliver the sounds I have in my head. They are very dynamic, touch sensitive, percussive and balanced. They sound great for everything from clean to heavier sounds. I mostly play fuzz pedals and they sound amazing with them! With overdrive it sounds very SRV alike!"
