About this event

Alex Misko is a modern fingerstyle guitar prodigy who mesmerizes audiences worldwide and represents a remarkable new generation in his craft. From viral videos to Carnegie Hall and collaborations with Hans Zimmer, his music bridges the old and new, captivating audiences online and at live shows. With eight album projects across solo releases, collaborations, and Covers and New Versions, plus global tours and a one-of-a-kind self-invented instrument, he is hailed as a multigenre guitar maestro.

Still in his 20s, Misko has gained widespread recognition both in his homeland and internationally. Drawing inspiration from the pioneering musicians who shaped the genre, he breaks new ground while staying true to the essence of the music, keeping the legacy of the style strong.

Alex began playing at the age of 12, studying classical guitar with a private teacher for three years. After discovering modern fingerstyle guitar online, he embarked on a self-taught journey to master the style. In 2015, while still in high school, his original piece "Guitar + Pen Tapping Song" went viral, surpassing 1,000,000 views and marking his first major online breakthrough.

In 2016, his video cover of Michael Jackson's "Billie Jean" received more than 30,000,000 views on Facebook, firmly establishing his presence on the international guitar scene. The following year, his rendition of George Michael's "Careless Whisper" gained more than 80,000,000 views across Facebook and YouTube within a single month. Since then, Misko's YouTube channel has experienced exponential growth, now exceeding 1,000,000 subscribers.

In October 2018, he was awarded the prestigious "Guitarist of the Year" title by the renowned UK magazine MusicRadar in London. In November 2019, he released his third solo album, Roundtrip, recognized for its innovative sound and mature compositions and considered a pinnacle of his work at that time.

In January 2020, he performed at the iconic Carnegie Hall in New York alongside world-renowned harpist Alexander Boldachev. This collaboration evolved into a long-term duo project, resulting in an innovative live show where guitar and harp function as a single musical entity. Alongside their solo careers, the duo performs at festivals worldwide, spanning both guitar-focused and classical music stages.

In 2026, Alex released Final Boss, his biggest and most ambitious album to date, and brought the music to audiences across New Zealand, Australia, the United States, and Canada.

Forest Bailey crafts a unique combination of fingerstyle, tapping and percussive playing that is all his own. Drawing from various influences like Michael Hedges, Andy Mckee, Antoine Dufour, Scale The Summit, Led Zeppelin, Chon, and Covet, each song is a musical journey that further shows what two hands and a guitar can accomplish. He underscores these sonic adventures with an exciting, welcoming and humorous stage presence that exudes every ounce of passion he has for his craft. "His live performance is a refreshing take on the solo Acoustic Guitar, alchemizing every part of the instrument for original compositions with elements of folk, world, blues, jazz, and post-rock, all anchored in his virtuosic mastery of fingerstyle technique inspired by Michael Hedges, Andy Mckee, and Antoine Dufour."
