Lead & Rhythm Guitar |
Just
in his early twenties, Clint Pelletier’s understanding and respect
of the guitar far exceeds his age. He began to play at the age of
eleven under the guidance of his father, Freddie. A short time
later, he and Freddie produced a “Beginner Guitar” instruction video
that was released independently and they also recorded an album of
guitar instrumental standards in 1999 appropriately entitled, “Like
Father, Like Son”. Clint spent his high school years playing in a
variety of local events and bands as well with a family group, “The
Pelletier’s”, before enrolling in the music program at Grant McEwan
College in Edmonton, Alberta in 2000. After college, Clint played
guitar for Rounder Records fiddle and step-dance sensation, April
Verch and then moved on to perform with famed world music fiddle
group, “Barrage”. He toured extensively throughout Canada and the US
with both acts gaining valuable experience in music and theatre but
chose to resign from the group to continue his rigorous practice
schedule. At home now in Edmonton, Alberta, his hectic pace
continues as he has become a sought after free-lance guitarist in a
variety of styles from jazz, rock, and flamenco to
country/bluegrass. His new project titled, “Gervais and Pelletier”
has taken off and his solo release “Naturally” is another testament
to Clint's skill on the guitar.
