American born, New Zealand based musician Nigel Gavin is a true virtuoso of his art. Originally released in 2003, 'Thrum' is a superb example of his talents.

"So, what does a guitarist whose versatility is his calling card, who is respected by other players around the world, who excites audiences with jaw-dropping amplified solos do, when he decides to record his own album? If he's Nigel Gavin, he picks up his beloved acoustic seven-string (hand-made from native New Zealand woods by master luthier Laurie Williams), retires to the sun-lit kitchen of his Mt. Eden home for several weeks, and quietly records his own thoughts, compositions, improvisations, and ideas."
-BRUCE MORLEY

"As well as possessing formidable technique, Nigel's subtle touch and exquisite tone benefit the music offered here no end. Anyone into the styles of Pat Metheny or Steve Howe would be well advised to check-out this earthy piece of instrumental freshness."
-MARTY

"Nigel's musicianship is of the highest calibre and it is always a pleasure to listen to his playing and enjoy his quality compositions. He is not only a dexterous guitarist, but can set a mood beautifully with his natural approach to music.

Anyone that is partial to delightfully pure acoustic guitar instrumentals should get 'Thrum' immediately."
