DADGAD Maestro Pierre Bensusan | Acoustic Guitar Sessions

Nearly a half century into his guitar career, Pierre Bensusan continues to create stunning, beautiful, and fearless music. For this AG Session we get to experience Bensusan perform three pieces: “La Nuit des Météores,” “Without You,” and “Chant de Nuit.”

“Music drives me, it’s like an unlimited well,” says Bensusan. “When I’m on tour, traveling is demanding for the body, but playing music, it rejuvenates me each day.”

Be sure to watch the entire video for more insights into Bensusan’s approach to his craft, how he re-imagined his instrumental composition “4 AM” as a piece for voice and guitar, and the story behind his Lowden signature model.
