PLINI, acknowledged as the world's best progressive guitarist, performs at A38 Ship PLINI, the Australian guitarist and composer, who has been praised by Steve Vai, as he described his debut album as one of the best instrumental guitar albums ever, and has also been named "the world's best current prog guitarist" by Music Radar. We can hear the virtuoso guitarist live at the A38 Ship on 22nd August.
PLINI is an independent solo artist from Sydney, Australia. He composes, plays guitar, records, produces and manages his unique brand of instrumental progressive rock all from a bedroom studio. STEVE VAI described his critically-acclaimed debut album “HANDMADE CITIES” as “one of the finest, forward thinking, melodic, rhythmically and harmonically deep, evolution of rock/metal instrumental guitar records I have ever heard.” PLINI was named “Best Prog Guitarist in the world right now” by Music Radar in 2017.
2017 and 2018 saw PLINI embark on highly successful headline tours of Europe, the UK, India, North America and Australia. These tours included dozens of sold out shows in some world’s iconic small venues, including the Roxy Theatre in Los Angeles, Islington Assembly Hall in London and the Corner Hotel in Melbourne. This was followed by the release of them "SUNHEAD" EP in mid-2018, and an ensuing world tour across Europe, North America, Asia, India and Australia.
In addition to his own catalogue, PLINI has also released two singles for charity, “KO KI” (2014) and “EVERY PIECE MATTERS” (2016), raising over $10,000 for providing shelter and sustainable housing for communities in poverty in Cambodia.
