A different kind of Harp Guitar Compilation! Ten amazing harp guitarists team up with pianist Brad Hoyt in a wonderfully diverse collection of piano and harp guitar duets. Brad personally assembled the cast of harp guitarists who collaborated on these brand new arrangements of Brad's fetching instrumental tunes. Brad Hoyt is a multi-instrumentalist who, besides being a versatile and prolific composer and keyboard virtuoso, is himself a harp guitarist, of sorts. You can hear his rather unique take on the instrument on the closing track, featuring Brad on piano and also his spectacular, one-of-a-kind 30-string Arpa Viola Caipira, a “harp guitar version” of a Brazilian 5-course folk guitar. The remaining tracks showcase Brad’s keyboard abilities, leaving the harp guitar parts to his many talented friends. The instruments range from vintage to modern, and include steel-string Dyer and Dyer-inspired instruments, GIbson, nylon or gut-strung harp guitars, electric jazz harp guitar, and even harp mandolin! These unique pairings have transformed Brad’s captivating piano compositions into new duet arrangements that are truly greater than the sum of their parts! |

REVIEWS '...the result is a gentle musical journey that inspires and delights. Seek it out!' - David Mead, Guitar Techniques Magazine, Issue 53 "Bravo
Brad Hoyt for this very fine album with some of the most beautiful
sounds that two instruments can make!" - Dave
Walker, FingerstyleGuitar.ca "...the
education into the world of the harp guitar is secondary to the eloquent
melodies and subtle complexities that encompass Together
Alone. From the opening track “Midwestern Expansion”,
the CD establishes a distinct mood, one of captivation and scenic
beauty, and you are immediately thrust into a world where a certain
tranquility has taken over." -Daniel Damiano, Award
Winning Playwright, Actor and Poet "Together
Alone...shows off the sound of the harp guitar in ways that have musical
substance and gives you plenty to hear and appreciate." - Grego
Edwards, Gapplegate Guitar and Bass "Guitar
fans and piano fans will marvel at the amazing talent and technique of
Hoyt and his gifted harp guitar players, yet the real star on Together
Alone is Hoyt’s sublime compositions, which combine a number of
classical, jazz and slightly shaded New Age / Americana motifs in his
instrumental originals." - Robert Silverstein,
