About the Album

Dancing in the Wind is one of the singles of the upcoming album The Curious Badger by guitarist composer Marc van Vugt. Marc van Vugt amazed with his first collection of guitar songs on The Lonely Coyote. Being a storyteller at heart one album was not enough to contain all the guitar stories van Vugt wanted to tell. The Curious Badger delivers another set of 12 compositions in which van Vugt continues his string of acoustic guitar adventures and deepens our understanding of how rich the acoustic guitar realm is. Acoustic guitar music in the tradition of Bill Connors, Ralph Towners, Pat Metheny and Egberto Gismonti. ‘Ever since I first taught myself a song on the guitar, Paul Simon’s Cecilia, I realized that all I wanted was to use everything I learned to write and perform my own songs. Out of curiosity and always looking for the unexpected I took off to create my own musical world. On The Curious Badger, I continue my search for what it would be like if I stripped down my music and just let the guitars speak to me, no large ensemble to orchestrate, no other musicians to work with, just me and my guitars. It is like a pact that I created with all these 9 guitars. A wondrous combination like that of the badger and the coyote who sometimes choose to form a pack to hunt together.’
