Childs is a dynamic and talented musician born and bred in the
heartland. A native of Kansas City and a guitar player for more
than 20 years his style varies richly in passions, influences
and approach. A graduate of the University of Missouri and the
Conservatory of Music, he earned degrees in classical guitar
performance and Spanish. |
| Having
lived and studied for two years in the Spanish cities of Madrid
and Granada, Andalucian sentimientos figure strongly in his
musical conjurations. But the roots remain thoroughly planted
in a Midwestern experience of life and the four seasons. |
|
| While
a masterful classical soloist, he also finds the call to improvisation,
songwriting and composition too strong to ignore. Kansas City swing
blues and flamenco falsettas emerge in Duke Ellington, Django Reinhart,
and Charlie Parker compositions with his highly popular Swing City
Trio, Jake Wagner mandolin and James Isaac woodwinds. His work in
the New String Duo with cellist Dana Woolard covers Renaissance,
classical and contemporary repertoire with style and charm. His
solo classical interpretations evoke grace and lucidity, his love
and passion for the music flows from the heart through the hands
and out the guitar. |
