- Quotes on Night Guitar: “In the pieces I’ve heard from Night Guitar, Anders Nilsson has managed to find something truly original left in the much pillaged vaults of country blues guitar- something of the ghosts that have haunted it since the beginning. Think Blind Willie Johnson meets Bernard Hermann. Excellent  stuff.” - Marc Ribot

“Anders Nilsson has fashioned a set of beautifully mysterious guitar music that seamlessly blends a  wide range of influences into a unique sound: brooding, dramatic, and filled with surprises.”  - Elliot Sharp 

- CD release party September 15th, 2012 at The Firehouse Space, 246 Frost Street. It will be a concert of solo guitar music, with a few surprise guests….
