Guitarist and Didgeridoo Player Dominic Gaudious

My first week in Orlando, a buddy of mine and I went over to Downtown Disney to see the sights. While he caught me up on what all had changed at Pleasure Island, we noticed a couple hundred people gathered over by Wetzel's Pretzels. Their focus was on a lone guitarist with a couple didgeridoos. What we heard was incredible.

Dominic Gaudious was playing a double neck acoustic guitar (12 and 6 string) through distortion, pulling off not only heavy rock riffs and 80's arpeggios, but throwing in didgeridoo as an alternate talk box effect. The result was a driving rock song, the switched to something tribal and Aborigine and back again...and the crowd loved it! No kidding people were dancing and cheering for this guy and for bloody good reason.

I had a chance to meet the talented Mr. Gaudious this past week. He graciously signed a CD and posed for a pic while on a short break, smiling and content the whole time. Needless to say, I had to write about him here.

Upon further listening, Dominic Gaudious is not just a rock riff meister, but seems to draw a variety of musical influences. Listen carefully and you'll hear bits of Disco, John Tesh, Rock, Santana, and, of course World music. You'll also hear a very genuine and simple level of fun in his playing.

If you're in the Orlando area, check out this performer at Downtown Disney. Also check him out online at www.DominicGaudious.com.

Thanks again to Mr. Gaudious and best wishes!
