    Ewan Dobson is back on Candy Rat and has somehow gone to another level! Even if classical isn't your thing I would recommend checking this out for the amazing technical prowess alone.

      Holy crap, this is huge news! Ewan is one my favorite of the original Candy Rat artists (which we have talked about before, IIRC ;). Thanks for sharing this, as otherwise it probably would have taken me a few days/weeks to notice this video, since even though I am subbed to Candy Rat (and Ewan's channel) I don't have the bell enabled for them.

      BTW, for those unfamiliar with Ewan, here is a little taste:
      Paganini's Hip, Time 2 and Motion Potion.

        Yes! I was so excited to see him back that I had to make my first submission to tildes (even though I've been here for a little while). Also happy I don't have to harbor resentment for candy rat...

        Yes! I was so excited to see him back that I had to make my first submission to tildes (even though I've been here for a little while). Also happy I don't have to harbor resentment for candy rat anymore lol. Hopefully this will lead to him touring again. Would love to see him play live with some of the other guitarists on the label.

          Amen. Apparently he used to tour around Ontario a fair bit back when he lived here, but I never got a chance to see him live.

            He's flawless live. Really impressive. At one show I yelled out "Spacewalk!" He said he hadn't played it in a long time and then proceeded to play it perfectly. Was awesome! Candy Rat side note -...

            Candy Rat side note - have you seen this? Would be cool to meet Luca. Not sure what I'd say...might be a Wayne & Garth meet Alice Cooper situation haha. Just seeing him live, especially with all the others here would be incredible (always wanted to see Antoine Dufour)! I might just have to attend!

              And no, I had not seen that. It was as a great coversong though... and if I lived near Arkansas I would be super stoked right now since that is an epic featuring list for that festival. I even noticed my man Gareth Pearson (another of my fav Candy Rat artists) in there too. :P
