Artist Biography
Available in:
Acoustic Alchemy is a British instrumental jazz group formed in London in 1981 by guitarists Nick Webb and Simon James. Its signature sound pairs nylon-string and steel-string guitars, blending contemporary and smooth jazz with Latin, flamenco, folk, pop and funk.

After James left, Greg Carmichael joined Webb, and their guitar partnership shaped the band’s best-known style. The MCA album Red Dust & Spanish Lace (1987) brought the group wider attention. Following Webb’s death in 1998, Carmichael continued Acoustic Alchemy with guitarist Miles Gilderdale. Albums including The Beautiful Game (2000), AArt (2001) and 33 1/3 (2018) trace the group’s evolving mix of acoustic melodies, electric textures and modern rhythms; AArt received a Grammy nomination.

In 2025, Acoustic Alchemy released the four-track EP The Empire of Lights on Onside Records. It features “Back to Back,” “Other People,” “Alisio” and “8,000 Miles.” The current live lineup includes Carmichael, Gilderdale, Jay Rowe, Gary Grainger and Greg Grainger.
