The Guitar Renegades


The Guitar Renegades are an all-guitar ensemble usually in quintet format. They're comprised of Cristian Perez (founder), Connor Holdridge, Jan Knutson, Parker Spears, and Tommy Holliday.


Although they're all jazz guitarists at heart, they venture into repertoire as diverse as Bach, Simon & Garfunkel, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jobim, The Beatles, etc., as well repertoire more common in the jazz world such as Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk, Miles Davis, etc.


They balance specific ensemble parts like a classical guitar ensemble with plenty of improvisation both in solo sections and accompaniment.
