Born in France in the early 60’s, Claude grew up in Switzerland, where he was classically trained. This finger picking guitarist takes you on a captivating musical journey that defies borders and genres. With roots in classical guitar, his
music flows effortlessly through the blues of the Mississippi Delta, the warmth of the Balearic Islands, the rich traditions of the Balkans, and back again.
His style blends Spanish blues with Gypsy rhythms, Eastern European melodies, and touches of flamenco inspired by Paco de Lucía. Influences from Ritchie Blackmore, Joaquín Rodrigo, JJ Cale, and even J.S. Bach can be heard in his rich, intricate playing. With flawless timing and astonishing technique, Claude does things on six strings most guitarists only dream of. Experience a unique fusion of blues, jazz, folk, classical, and Spanish guitar—all brought together in one unforgettable performance.
