Dariush Kanani is a fingerstyle guitarist specialising in folk, blues, ragtime and the British folk legendary guitarists…Captivated from a young age by the guitar playing of Bert Jansch, Davy Graham and John Renbourn, Dariush has performed, studied and taught with some of the most influential figures in fingerstyle guitar. These include Renbourn himself, Stefan Grossman, Clive Carroll and Wizz Jones.
“How refreshing to hear a young player who truly embraces the early British roots of acoustic guitar playing. His influences are pretty clear but he somehow captures the spirit of the great players like Bert Jansch and John Renbourn and makes it his own.” – Gordon Giltrap
