Co-conspirators over the years have included Roy Zimmerman, The Foremen. the Back Room Boys, The Frontmen, Bob Weir, Michelle Shocked and the Sirens of San Francisco. He is currently putting the finishing touches on his own solo CD and tours nationally and internationally.

Walter Strauss

Fingerstyle guitar wizard Walter Strauss is a one man guitar festival. His
virtuosity mesmerizes, whether in a song about the vast American West or
an ambitious guitar translation of music from far-flung locales. While
rooted in American folk forms, Walter’s music evokes far reaches of the
globe as well. He’s worked with musicians from West Africa to Australia
and Finland, and successfully weaves world beat, Americana, and jazz into
a brand uniquely his own. An innovative guitarist, singer-songwriter and
producer, Walter released his debut solo CD in 2005 and currently tours
nationally and internationally in solo and collaborative performances.
