Shane Parish will perform his solo guitar arrangements of music by Alice Coltrane, Charles Mingus, Ornette Coleman, Aphex Twin, Kraftwerk, John Cage, and so much more.

Athens, Georgia-based guitarist Shane Parish devotes much of his time to developing his singular and expressive musicianship. He is a self-taught player who communicates through emotion, unexpected melodicism, technical whimsy, a nuanced sense of form, and rich timbral variety, simultaneously drawing from the guitar’s history and aiming for its future.

He plays solo, as a member of the Bill Orcutt Guitar Quartet, and with his avant-rock band Ahleuchatistas. Over the years, he has released albums on labels such as Tzadik Records, Palilalia Records, Cuneiform Records, and International Anthem.

RECENT WORDS ABOUT SHANE PARISH’s album “REPERTOIRE” (2024, Palilalia Records)

“Shane Parish is a relentless interpreter. The guitarist's catalog is full of folk songs, sea shanties and the Chet Baker Sings album thoughtfully and playfully mangled. (Parish also notated and arranged Bill Orcutt's Music for Four Guitars for, well, four guitars — their Tiny Desk is raucously joyful.)”

—Lars Gotrich, NPR

“As an arranger and transcriber, Shane has incredible attention to detail and a devotion to get it right. As a performer and improvisor, he’s passionate and has terrific drive and charisma. On stage, he’s impossible not to like.”

—Bill Orcutt, quoted in Flagpole Magazine (Athens, GA)
