About

My genre is 'psychedelic classical'. I blend original compositions, classical/baroque/romantic composers with live mixed FX and live looping. I'm a Brooklyn based guitar/composer and graduate of Berklee College of Music ('95). I've played guitar for over 40 years, taught Yogic arts for nearly 30 and blend these two passions into the music I channel. I've traveled all around this planet and travel through the hidden worlds revealed through deep meditation, ceremonial work and plant medicine.

REVIEWS
"One of the best and most original talents I've heard on the guitar in a long time. This guy has it all...inventive, technical and emotional."
-Will Ackerman, Grammy Award Winner & Founder of Windham Hill

"Hewett signals the appearance of not only a guitar master, but a composer of quietly epic dimensions."
- John Diliberto, ECHOES | Public Radio International

“A divine listening experience... with the headphone aura of a Pink Floyd album.”
- Robert Silverstein, 20th Century Guitar

Music

I compose and perform fluidly on steel string acoustic, Spanish classical and electric guitars, painting the air with the instruments, live mixed effects and live looping.

My repertoire is a combination of original compositions woven together with classical/baroque/romantic period pieces.

The music comes from the center of my being and fans have consistently said how it's left them 'riveted and moved' after a performance. My influences are rooted in my father's piano waking me up every morning as a child with Beethoven, Bach, Granados and Debussy. Then to film music, then to progressive rock and on to the great singer songwriters like Joni Mitchell, Peter Gabriel and Chelsea Wolfe.

I strive to serve the song. Elevating my technique to the place where (nearly) anything is possible to express while at the same time keeping it on a short leash. I lead with emotion and the intention of creating a synesthetic experience within myself and the audience.
