Preston Reed’s music is currently being heard coast-to-coast in North America.
The compositions of the Scots-based, American-born composer are featured on a documentary series by award-winning Kenneth Burns.
The famed American director and producer is known for his style of making use of archival footage and photographs.
Among his most notable productions are The Civil War (1990), Baseball (1994), Jazz (2001), The War (2007), and The National Parks: America's Best Idea (2009).
Burns' documentaries have been nominated for two Academy Awards (Brooklyn Bridge in 1982 and The Statue of Liberty in 1986) and have won seven Emmy Awards, mostly from The Civil War and Baseball.
Reed appears at The Acoustic Music Centre @ St Bride’s on Sunday, August 29 and he has invented a new way of playing.
The 53-year-old New Yorker wrote his first song at eight-years-of-age
and now includes gigs with Bonnie Raitt and Linda Ronstadt on his CV.
He has compiled 15 studio albums and sold-out venues across three continents.
Furthermore, he has hits on YouTube and played a live satellite broadcast that saw an audience of 120 million in 17 countries tune in.
