The multi-award-winning French-Algerian musician, celebrated by everyone from Mark Knopfler to Leo Kottke, is set for a run of more than 60 shows
“Pierre is one of the GREATS!!!”— Tommy EmmanuelNASHVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, August 11, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ — Pierre Bensusan, the acoustic guitar virtuoso with numerous accolades, is preparing to launch his 2026 "Infinite Guitar Tour". This French-Algerian sensation is coming off the momentum of his landmark 50th anniversary tour last year, during which he delivered over 125 concerts throughout North America, with well more than a third of those dates selling out.
Recognized as one of the most articulate World Music artists of this era, Pierre has earned the nickname “Mister DADGAD” due to his exceptional command of that distinctive guitar tuning.
When Michael Hedges named one of his own pieces “Bensusan,” it signals that the source of inspiration is truly remarkable — and Pierre Bensusan certainly fits that description. Guitarists ranging from Leo Kottke and Larry Coryell to Tuck Andress, Tommy Emmanuel, Mark Knopfler, Andrew York, Andy Timmons, and Steve Lukather have all expressed admiration for him. Additionally, Steve Vai released three of Bensusan’s albums on his Favored Nations label. The impact of Pierre’s music extends beyond guitarists as well, evidenced by a recent studio collaboration with Donny Osmond on his latest record, “Start Again.”
Pierre’s “Infinite Guitar Tour” kicks off on September 16th in North Carolina. The itinerary will extend from Florida in the Southeast to Southern California and up to Washington in the Northwest.
