First-Ever 'Rowdy Classical Guitar Album' Hits No 8 On Billboard's Top Classical Albums Chart - Annalisa Ewald

New York, NY (Top40 Charts/ Dionysian Media) Guitarist Annalisa Ewald has earned her first-ever Billboard Charting album, with her spirited 'Live at the Factory Underground' - likely the first 'rowdy Classical guitar album' to ever hit the Top Ten of Billboard's Top Classical Album Chart! Ewald is gaining popularity, bringing classical guitar to a wider audience by sharing some of the intrigue within the music's eclectic history.

The distinctive album has earned rave reviews - "She reminds us that these "classical" pieces sprang from the soil, the seamier parts of town and scandalous, sometimes illegal rhythms and dances. " Ewald takes her classical guitar on a journey back to the instrument's roots - leaving the plush, scholarly recital halls behind and instead returning to a darkened, candle-lit club, where artists perform amid the raucous din of the crowd, and a lone guitar provides the backdrop for any trouble that may be brewing…

Ewald, a respected guitarist equally at home among fans of classical, rock, blues and other genres, brings a confident intensity to the gritty, live performance, offering up 15 fiery classical guitar pieces from South America, the caves of the Spanish gypsies and European traditions. There's a visceral quality to the recording, as she feeds off the energy of the loud crowd, allowing the music to come alive in response.
