Richard Dawson has been playing guitar for over 22 years and is a true master of the instrument. He holds a Master of Fine Arts degree in Classical Guitar from the prestigious California Institute of the Arts in Valencia, California. In addition to classical, Richard plays a wealth of other styles and is constantly experimenting with new and innovative ideas for the instrument and music in general.

   Mr. Dawson recently completed his first classical album which will be available for purchase in late 2007. Richard performs in a variety of venues including performing arts centers, colleges, hotels and restaurants throughout the greater Los Angeles area.
