Virtuoso guitarist Mimi Fox has earned international renown as a live-wire performer, a startlingly poised improviser who can transform just about any tune into a thrilling and unpredictable instrumental adventure. But she doesn’t need to plug in to seize and hold an audience’s attention. While she’s best known for wielding her namesake Heritage Guitar Mimi Fox Signature model arch-top, Fox is equally spellbinding on six and 12-string acoustic guitars.

Signed by Taylor Guitars as an endorsing “partner,” Fox has increasingly returned to her acoustic roots, delivering her wildly imaginative reinterpretations of standards, folk songs, pop hits and R&B anthems. Her acoustic prowess has earned standing ovations at major festivals around the world, from the Kennedy Center and the Newport Folk Festival to the Montreal International Jazz Festival, where her solo set earned three encores.
