About the Artist
Edgar Cruz
This fulltime guitarist was born and raised in Oklahoma City and grew up in an atmosphere of latin/mariachi music under the inspiration of his father Manuel Cruz. After graduating from Oklahoma City University in 1986 he has focused much of his time touring Colleges, Universities, Festivals, Conventions, Corporate and Private performances throughout the United States, Europe, The Carribean Islands and South America.

Those who have witnessed Cruz’s performance immediately become entranced at the precision, speed and complexity with which his fingers strike the strings of his guitar to create a symphony of sound unusual to just one instrument.

Recordings include (but not limited to)...Throw Another Tape on the Fire, Classical Demands, Those Were the Days, Opening Night, The A.R.T. of Edgar Cruz, Reminiscence, Timeless, Spanish Blood.

He’s been featured frequently on ABC, NBC, CBS and PBS-affiliate television and cable stations. He’s a National Guitar Fingerpicking Champion and has been named the Oklahoma Gazette’s Best Local Performing Artist and Best Acoustic Guitarist for three years in a row.

Future recordings include international, inspirational, broadway, romantic and original works. Videos are also on the drawing board. Edgar is one of the most ambitious and hard working guitarists to date.
