Legendary guitarist Pat Metheny is beginning the latest chapter of his career with a new album called “Road to the Sun”. The release marks the end of his two-decade run with Nonesuch and kicks off an exciting new era for the 20-time Grammy Award winner.

Produced by Steve Rodby, ‘Road to the Sun’ features two new Metheny compositions performed by world-renowned classical guitarist Jason Vieaux and the acclaimed Los Angeles Guitar Quartet.

Jason performs a four-movement solo guitar suite called “Four Paths of Light,” written specifically for him by Metheny, while the Grammy-winning Los Angeles Guitar Quartet takes on the album’s six-movement, 25-minute titular centrepiece.

“Some of these passages are incredibly difficult,” Jason says in his new interview with ArtistWorks CEO and Co-founder Patrica Butler. “I’m preparing to perform the piece right now and the first and third movements are among the hardest things I’ve ever had to prepare”
