For over 30 years Canadian roots music artist Lester Quitzau has been defying stereotypes in the music world and in that time span, this guitar playing, song-writing singer has carved out a life that is multi-faceted in its unique scope. Yes, he’s that mellow guy who throws down a heavy groove, but he’s also an artist who continues to forge new paths in a musical journey where he’s navigated some heavy terrain with considerable finesse and focus. His unique style and fluidity on slide, acoustic and electric guitars, coupled with his well- crafted songs and warm vocals, are the fruits of this musical journey. Canadian blues broadcasting guru Holger Petersen sums up his appreciation of Quitzau’s talents by reminding us that “Lester’s slide playing is in that rarified category and he has that great combination of skill, tone, and studied knowledge. He’s a class artist, whose music has a direct connection to the heart and soul.”
