Muriel Anderson - Graceful Joy

Muriel Anderson – Graceful Joy

Aired Monday, February 15, 2021 at 11:00 AM PST / 2:00 PM EST / 6:00 PM GMT / 7:00 PM CET

One of the world’s foremost fingerstyle guitarists and harp-guitarists, Muriel Anderson’s evident joy of music, humor, and facility across the genres of folk, classical, bluegrass, popular, and international music is revered by guitarists worldwide. An engaging performer, Muriel’s unique approach to the instrument virtually transforms the guitar into a lyrical choir, then a marching band, then a Japanese koto, then a Bluegrass band, one-minute launching into a Beatles’ tune and the next, a Spanish classic.

Muriel is the first woman to have won the National Fingerstyle Guitar Championship and has performed/recorded with Chet Atkins, Les Paul, Victor Wooten, and the Nashville Chamber Orchestra. Her CD “Nightlight Daylight” was chosen as one of the top 10 CDs of the decade by Guitar Player Magazine. Her “Heartstrings” recording accompanied the astronauts on the space shuttle Discovery. Join Kara Johnstad and guitarist, composer, educator, and Muriel Anderson in a heartfelt conversation on the transformational power music carries to heal our world and mend our hearts. Discover Muriel’s passion as an educator and how we can encourage and inspire kids to make more music and even, in some cases, turn their lives around and why it’s music that makes the world go round.
