PRESS “Nygaard’s flatpicking is so fluid and clever the crowd keeps squinting at his hands, checking to make sure there are only two.” --Oakland Tribune “Nygaard is a truly gifted guitarist, both in his breathtaking solos, and in his perfectly designed backup.”--Albany (NY) Daily Gazette “As adept at creating magnetic rhythms as he is knocking off stunning solos, Nygaard is possibly the best acoustic guitarist to come along in bluegrass music since Tony Rice.”--Edmonton (Alberta) Journal “Dreamer’s Waltz, by flatpicking guitar wizard Scott Nygaard, is the sort of CD you give to one of those snobs who thinks all the really hot, deep-thinking guitarists play jazz, or progressive music.” --Gryphon Gazette “Scott is one of the absolute cutting-edge players in today’s acoustic music scene. Nygaard’s playing is always highlighted by his gorgeous tone and exquisite phrasing.”--Flatpicking Guitar “Scott’s got just about the singingest guitar sound going these days. You can tell you’re listening to Scott by his unpredictable melodic pathways, and the supremacy of melody in his solos, by the half-concealed harmonic sophistication, the big wide tone, by his clarity of execution at any speed and the clarity of the musical ideas.” --Jody Stecher “One of the better technical guitarists to surface in a long time.”--Option “Guitarist Scott Nygaard was a case study in acoustic guitar playing, supporting the singers with thoughtful accompaniment and eliciting appreciative applause for each brief solo.”--Louisville Courier “Scott Nygaard paints his sound on everything he plays. He can play in any idiom, but you always know it’s him. You can hear his brain working. That’s why I love his guitar playing.”--Tim O’Brien “What beautiful stuff! . . . some of the most inventive harmonic work I’ve heard in a long time. More please.”--Sing Out “Scott has been known and envied as the guy who comes up with solos you’d never imagine, but which seem instantly indispensable to the song.”--Gryphon Gazette
