The story of Acoustic Alchemy has always been about innovation and adaptability. In the nearly 25 years since their first recording, the UK-based group has crafted a sound that maximizes the potential of not only the acoustic guitar but also its electric counterpart – and in so doing they’ve explored the subtle corners where jazz, pop, world music and other genres intersect. Along the way – with the help of a massive worldwide following created by consistent touring – they’ve weathered personal setbacks, dramatic shifts in musical trends, and in recent years, sweeping changes in the music industry. Greg Carmichael and Miles Gilderdale head-up the current version of the ensemble. The two guitarists are energetically backed by the exceptional rhythm section support of Fred White on keyboards; Gary Grainger on bass; and Gary’s brother Greg Grainger on drums. Roseland, a 13-track recording is the title of Acoustic Alchemy’s latest recording, released September 27, 2011 on the Heads Up label.
