Stephen Bennett is an American finger-style guitarist whose mastery of the harp guitar and lifelong devotion to the sound of guitar strings have earned him international acclaim. A winner of the National Flatpicking Guitar Championship and the 2024 International Finger Style Guitar Championship at the Walnut Valley Festival, Bennett is celebrated for his brilliant technique, expressive compositions, and rare sensitivity. Recognized worldwide as one of the foremost exponents of the harp guitar, he has created a body of work that spans solo recordings, collaborations, and original compositions.
Since his debut, Bennett has performed on stages across North America, Europe, and Asia, drawing praise from critics and audiences alike—hailed as “the Jedi Master of Finger-style Guitar” by the Toronto Finger-Style Guitar Association. His MAC Classical Concert comes at an exciting time: Bennett’s new album is soon to be released, featuring artwork by Bill Allen and graphic design by Sean de Burca, available on CD, streaming platforms, and as a double LP with an exclusive bonus track. This performance offers audiences a rare chance to experience Bennett’s artistry live as he shares both beloved works and music from his forthcoming release.
“Stephen’s compositions are so beautiful, filled with great emotion and great sensitivity. He is one of those musicians who serve the music, and only the music.” — FROM FRANCE
“When I first heard him playing a few years ago, I felt like I had been pushed into a different world, where the lost emotions come back to your heart and make it beat in a different way. What Stephen can do, and few artists have this gift, is to speak directly to your heart and to move your best feelings!” – FROM ITALY

The band has been featured at major events, including the Brooklyn International Music Festival, the Greek Jewish Festival, and the Nyack Jazz Festival, and their music appears on the soundtrack of the short animated film Ariel by Conor Mcfinn.&nbsp;Baklava Express released their debut album Dávka in 2023, with their upcoming album Sababa scheduled for release in 2026.
