Songwriting, instrumental virtuosity, and musical imagination are only a couple of things that set Ariel Posen apart as a recording artist. The Canadian singer-songwriter is a member of the top echelon of slide guitar players alive today, but he doesnât fit into the same clichĂ©s that many other slide guitarists get lumped into. With expressiveness and touch, Posen melds his roots and blues influences with an intuition for songwriting that makes him stand out as a performer.
Recently, Posen announced a North American spring tour that will see him performing all across America and Canada. Sultry and smooth, pretty and gritty, Ariel Posen has really developed a style that balances seemingly opposite qualities into a velvety, absorbing sound, and in 2022, that sound will be on full display. Get a preview with this video of “Nobody Else,” shot live in Montreal. (And to hear more, check out his music video for “Now I See” on BGS.)
