Brad Hoyt is a composer, pianist and harp guitarist who has performed and recorded extensively in America and Europe. In addition to the piano, he plays the one-of-a-kind Sedgwick 30-string arpa viola caipira, a 'harp guitar version' of a Brazilian folk guitar. Recently Brad released "Together Alone", a highly acclaimed album of piano/harp guitar duets featuring some of North America's best fingerstyle harp guitarists which included Muriel Anderson, John Doan, Antoine Dufour, Jeff Titus and Don Alder among others. After hosting the 8th Harp Guitar Gathering, Brad will focus on recording a new album that will go beyond the piano / harp guitar duet format of his first album and will feature himself on both arpa viola caipira and piano with a diverse and unique combination of musicians.

Rick’s Sedgwick Harp Guitar was delivered in June 2010 following an exciting collaboration of design and creation. It features 7 fretted strings and 6 sub bass strings, with an extended fret board giving this instrument a full 5 octave range, D to D. The design allows 16 frets clear to the body on the treble side plus an angled bridge to increase the scale lengths supporting the lowest sub base strings.

The East Indian Rosewood back and sides were reclaimed from architectural verandah posts in India. The European Spruce top is a great match for the rosewood, giving this petite harp guitar a wonderful voice.
