Christopher Paul Stelling hits Europe starting this weekend
12-01-2016The first time you experience Christopher Paul Stelling singing and playing guitar is eye-opening. Stelling's attack on the nylon-string acoustic guitar is uniquely forceful and it serves his songwriting well on his new album "Labor Against Waste" which was released through ANTI- Records in 2015. Last year has proven to be a watershed year for Christopher. The singer-songwriter is no stranger to the road, having racked up miles upon miles in pursuit of the perfect lost-love ballad to be played on his well-worn acoustic guitar and sung in his trademark cracked-and-bleeding voice.
After being home for just a couple of weeks Christopher is glad to be returning to Europe this month for a full tour including debuting shows in Norway, Sweden and Denmark. Of course he'll be returning to UK, Germany, Benelux, Italy and Spain as well. Find all shows right at the bottom of this message. Christopher Paul Stelling stopped by the Acoustic Guitar offices to treat them to four songs and insights into his process. Watch him craft rich melodies on his '64 Gibson, performing "Warm Enemy," "Hard Work," "Castle," and "Horse," which features fiddler Kieran Ledwidge.
