Paducah, KY (09/19/2022) — Trace Bundy, an internationally-acclaimed guitar virtuoso, will perform in the Clemens Fine Arts Center (CFAC) at West Kentucky Community and Technical College September 30 at 7:30 p.m.

Bundy's music has been described as poetry in motion. With the use of harmonics, looping, multiple capos, and his unique banter and stage presence, he can deliver an unforgettable live concert experience. Listening to his intricate arrangements is one thing, but seeing the fan-dubbed "Acoustic Ninja" play live has confounded even the most accomplished music lovers as to how one person can do all that with just two hands and ten fingers.

As part of the CFAC's Exposure Series, Bundy's concert is free.

"When I discovered Trace's music, I knew he was a perfect fit for our Exposure Series, said Todd Birdsong, CFAC director. "This series enables both the audience and artist the opportunity to explore ideas about our world with an interdisciplinary approach while examining the creative process in the real world," he said. "We want to introduce the community to a different way of experiencing the arts and taking something new away from the experience."

Bundy's unique career has brought him across the world, with concerts in 28 countries and counting - from high-tech performance halls in South Korea and Italy to remote villages in Zimbabwe and Guatemala. He has independently sold over 150,000 albums on his record label, Honest Ninja Music. His video clips circulate virally, with currently over 45 million YouTube views.

Jimmy Leslie at Guitar Player magazine blogged, "It was easy to see why Bundy plays bigger venues on each tour. In his hands, the acoustic guitar is an imagination station, and there was no telling where he is going to take the audience at any given turn. Thrilling stuff."

Audiocast magazine from Austin, Texas, agreed: "Bundy's live show is without a doubt an event that needs to be witnessed rather than told about. With such a jaw-dropping performance, Bundy's live concert is a slap in the face that would leave a palm print on the memory of everyone in the audience."
