The Transatlantic Guitar Trio unites three extraordinary musicians from three musical traditions: Richard Smith (UK), Joscho Stephan (Germany), and Rory Hoffman (USA). Together they create an exhilarating musical exchange that blends blazing gypsy jazz, dazzling fingerstyle guitar, and soulful Americana into a performance filled with virtuosity, humor, and pure joy.
Each artist is a master in his own right—Smith’s breathtaking fingerstyle lineage traces back to Chet Atkins, Stephan is widely considered one of the world’s leading gypsy jazz guitarists, and Hoffman’s musicianship spans guitar, piano, and more. When these three share the stage, the result is a thrilling musical conversation where jaw-dropping technique meets infectious musical chemistry.
