ShowHawk Duo heading to Aberdeen

After captivating audiences around the world with their spectacular approach to playing guitar, The ShowHawk Duo are bringing their unique renditions to Aberdeen.

British guitarists Mikhail Asanovic and Jake Wright – The ShowHawk Duo – are known for a playing style which has broken down barriers between acoustic and electronic music.

Whether playing oldschool trance classics or modern funky house, their live shows know no boundaries. Aberdeen fans will be able to find out what the buzz is all about when they perform at Unit 51 on October 9.

Mikhail (Mik), a classical guitarist at heart, studied at Manchester’s RNCM, whereas Jake is an electric junkie who grew up playing in rock and metal bands.

So while Mik’s classical foundation shines through in the music, Jake’s raw, percussive approach always keeps the crowd moving.

Together, they managed to create a unique and impressive sound, and have turned many acoustic nights into raves.

Starting out as buskers, the musicians have since gone on to play all over the globe.

They have appeared on BBC Radio 1 and performed at most of the UK’s large festivals including Bestival, Glastonbury, Isle of Wight Festival, Secret Garden Party, Wilderness, Somersault, Lost Village, Boomtown and more.

They also played sell-out shows on their 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 UK tours, and headlined The O2 Forum in addition to playing a sell-out show at Edinburgh Fringe.

Now the duo are embarking on a UK and Ireland tour. Spanning 26 dates, The ShowHawk Duo kick off the tour in Leicester and tickets for the Aberdeen gig are on sale now.
