THE PASSPORT SHOW, A journey through music and art

For Muriel Anderson’s “Passport” show, the audience requests what countries they’d like to visit in the music and projected visuals. At many shows, the audience is handed “guitar passport books” to keep as souvenirs. Enhanced by stunning backdrops by Bryan Allen, her 20-string harp-guitar transports you around the globe, and Muriel sings in up to 10 languages. You’ll voyage with her on her sailing adventures, and virtually (sometimes actually) taste the experiences that led to her international cookbook “Acoustic Chef.” If you’re not already familiar with Muriel, you will find yourself smiling when you feel the joy of her music shining through a stunning array of styles.

BRIEF BIO

Muriel Anderson is considered a virtuoso of the 20-string harp-guitar, yet it is her gentle sense of humor and uplifting melodies that leave her audience smiling. Guitar Player Magazine lists her as one of the 50 noteworthy guitarists of all time. She has been listed among the top ten female guitarists, and is the first woman to win the National Fingerstyle Guitar Championship.

She has recorded with country legend Chet Atkins, performed with Les Paul and countless other greats in Muriel Anderson’s ALL STAR GUITAR NIGHT® over 30+ years. Muriel’s CD Nightlight Daylight placed first in its category in 11 national awards, followed by Acoustic Chef, an international CD with cookbook. For her recent release Sailing Dreams, she has created a board game to accompany the music. Her open-heartedness extends beyond her music, as she founded the Music for Life Alliance to help foster music education for kids.

Quotes from recent venues

Muriel Anderson performed an exquisite and memorable concert set at The Folk Project’s Acoustic Getaway. Her skill, talent and showmanship were extraordinary, and our audience responded with a well-earned standing ovation. Her workshops were excellent and instructive, and she was pleasant and interactive with all our guests the entire weekend. …Mark Schaffer, Chairman of The Folk Project Acoustic Getaway

Muriel Anderson’s performance blew us all away at the Troubadour. As a guitarist myself, I was astonished at how easily and fluidly she breezed through musical passages of extreme technical difficulty. And her presentation and stage persona were inviting, friendly, and accessible to everyone , whether musicians or ordinary music-lovers. I can’t wait to have her back. Mike Agranoff, Chairman Troubadour Acoustic Concert Series Morristown, NJ
