Shane Parish

Avant-Garde Guitarist and Composer

My name is Shane Parish. I am a guitarist, composer, and teacher. I began playing guitar in 1992, I was 14 years old and I was immediately hooked. Over the years I have released recordings with several projects and I am involved in many ongoing collaborations. I love to improvise and play tightly composed music. I love intricacy and simplicity, intensity and subtlety, to hold the tension between extremes, and to be the extremes. I aim to convey and evoke a wide range of feelings with my music in an unfiltered and honest way. I take great satisfaction in my vocation as a music educator, teaching and learning from children of all ages.
