John Hildreth is a guitarist and multi-instrumentalist based in Southwest Virginia performing throughout the New River Valley and beyond.

John is classically trained in guitar and composition, and holds a Master of Arts in Music. His style is sometimes called ‘deep-tissue guitar,’ at points combining acoustic, world, jazz, rock, traditional, Americana and classical genres. In addition to the acoustic guitar, you may also see him playing electric guitar, Spanish/classical guitar, mandolin, tenor banjo, piano or melodica. John is also a studied composer of solo, chamber and electro-acoustic music. His compositions and arrangements have been performed in the United States, Canada and Europe.
