CARLOS REYES
Carlos Reyes -- recording artist, producer, engineer, harpist and violinist -- has been breaking musical barriers since his first public performance at the age of five. Born in Paraguay, South America, he began his musical education at the age of three and a half on the violin. A few years later, his father, a musical and national hero in Paraguay, dared young Carlos to learn the complicated 36 string native Paraguayan harp. Taking his fathers challenge seriously; Carlos purchased his first harp for $50.00 when he was just ten years old. Two weeks later, he earned a double encore and $250.00 at his first professional harp concert. Since then he has taken the Harp and its music to new and ground breaking levels. At an early age Carlos eventually learned to play many different instruments including Guitar, Bass, Mandolin, Keyboards, as well as mastering the use of a variety of electronic devices and special effects.
Carlos' first album, The Beauty of it All, was on the Top-Ten Contemporary Jazz charts in Billboard Magazine for over 15 weeks. Over the years he has backed such artists as Chuck Mangione, Bill Evans, Clark Terry, Pat Travers, and MC Hammer. He has shared the concert stage with great artists from Craig Chaquico, The Crusaders, The Rippingtons, and Roy Rogers to Charlie Daniels, Wynona Judd, Clint Black, Willie Nelson, John Handy, The Doobie Brothers, Steve Miller, and many more.
Along with an international musical reputation, Mr. Reyes has amassed a large enthusiastic Bay Area following always wondering what new surprise or style of music he'll bring to the stage. His charismatic personality and outstanding musical talents are a potent combination with which he performs an extensive and entertaining repertoire. The Bay Area is proud to claim Carlos Reyes as one of its favorite and most talented artists
