The Candlelight Guitarist® is Bradley Powell. Inspired by the Beatles, Brad began guitar lessons at age ten. The next year he won first place at the Southwestern Youth Music Festival for a guitar solo. At fifteen, Brad became a protégé of jazz guitarist Joe Pass, and later studied classical guitar from Vincenzo Macaluso, with master classes at CSUN under Dr. Ronald Purcell and Andrés Segovia. Brad was twice featured at the Hollywood Bowl, performing Gerald Wilson's "Sonata for Guitar and Orchestra" with the composer conducting, and also under the baton of Richard Carpenter, performing a suite of Carpenters' hits. Mentored in composition by David Rose ("Little House On The Prairie"), Brad composed music for TV shows, including "Hill Street Blues." He lives in a small mountain town in California.
