Sotiris Sarkavazis is a talented performer from Greece, who labels himself as playing “world music,” but can in fact pull off a wide variety of styles. Earlier this year we released his Summer Visions With Flamenco album, for example, which is a really gorgeous acoustic effort. But he has also branched out effectively into blues, straightforward rock, and a number of other genres. His good friend (and fellow Exquisite Noise artist) Ulisseus describes Sotiris as one of the best guitar players in the country – and if you check out his material, we’re confident you will agree. Aside from all that, however, his songs remain in your head long after you’ve listened to them, so he’s bringing hooks and melodies to the forefront as well.
