Jeffrey McFadden has established a place among the most admired guitarists of his generation. Since his debut at the legendary 'Guitar ’87' festival he has performed across North and South America, and Europe.

His debut recording followed a GFA silver medal and was the first in the Laureate Series on Naxos. He has made 10 highly acclaimed recordings since then exploring the works of Sor, Coste, Barrios and others.
