about

American Grace (CNM 022) is guitarist Eric Hofbauer's third solo recording, completing the trilogy begun in 2004 with American Vanity (CNM 003) and followed by American Fear (CNM 019) in 2010. Reflecting on his journey of exploration through three solo recordings, Hofbauer explains, "The trilogy is about process, coming of age, or coming to terms with the internal and external world. It's autobiographical and I hope in some ways, universal. Grace is the final step... acceptance of who we are, regardless of what the universe has dished out. Vanity and Fear portrayed the more green side of that process, while Grace is the arrival of awareness, of embracing the duality inherent in life and humanity." The nineteen tracks on American Grace cover a vast stylistic territory, connected together through Hofbauer's unique deconstructionist sense of melodic interpretation, polyrhythm and bi-tonality. Original compositions sit side by side with startling interpretations of folk hymns, free jazz, 80's pop classics, stride guitar, bebop and the blues.
