Bold and uncompromising…
Land of Enchantment by Todd Mosby is an exploration of the connection between nature, culture and art. The summery vibe often hides the fact that this is a flawless release by an artist at the very height of his abilities. There is a lot to discover in-between with almost limitless replay value.

While many musicians create their own music, not many, create their own instruments to play it on…
However, guitarist Todd Mosby helped design and create one of the most fascinating guitar/sitar fusions I’ve ever seen. And man, can he play it! More on this innovative instrument later, but for now let me introduce and provide some background on this master musician. Highlight the items in your store.

The playing on this album is beautiful…
“4 very talented men who truly love guitars, making wonderful music together. - David Crosby (Crosby, Stills and Nash)
-
“Todd Mosby, an absolutely brilliant guitarist who plays a wide variety of styles, but is considerably influenced by the music of India will be on stage, as will Trevor Gordon Hall who is THE young phenom out there today… while incredibly dynamic as a performer his music is never about simple gymnastics… this guy is all about heart.
Vin Downes is a brilliant guitarist and a heart-felt composer. He is one of the best and most soulful guitarists drawing breath on the planet today.
And, yes, they're allowing me to play too ! I just squeaked in, but managed to make the team!
These are all musicians I've been honored to produce. This will be as good a night of guitar playing as you could hope for. I know I'm very much looking forward to it!”
- Will Ackerman- before a live show of FOUR GUITARS

4 very talented men who truly love guitars making wonderful music together. The playing on this album is beautiful." - David Crosby (Crosby, Stills and Nash)
"This is beautiful music. It takes me back to the best part of the 1980's, when instrumental music was alive and part of the cultural consciousness. These four musicians have captured the spirit of that time, with writing and playing that engages the mind and heart. Bravo 'Four Guitars'!" - Andrew York (Grammy Winning Guitarist Los Angeles Guitar Quartet)
