Erik Mongrain is a young guitarist and a composer from Montreal, Quebec, Canada.
Mongrain became very interested in guitar at the age of fourteen. The electric guitar was what Mongrain first worked with as he was teaching himself, and eventually picked up an interest in classical and acoustic guitar. He then went on to teach himself how to read music, and started to compose his own.
Mongrain is most well known for the technique called lap tapping, which is done with one or two hands, primarily with the guitar sitting in the guitarists lap. A series of hammer ons and pull offs is performed by one hand, and the playing of notes synchronized with the tapping is performed by the other hand.
Erik Mongrain plays shows in the United States, England and, of course, Canada. As he first started, he is still playing street shows, and has done some performances on television.
in December of 2006, Mongrain released his first full length album titled, Fates. This was available in stores June of 2006.

I caught Erik play at the Exeter Phoenix - a great birthday treat for me! He was stunning to watch. The Phoenix made an intimate setting for his music and conversation. He played a nice mix of his music, mostly from Equilibrium, a few new ones, and closed with Air Tap!
