Guitar Virtuoso Brady Novotny on The Paige Roberts Show / 646 668 8941 8PM EST

 Brady Novotny is a Pittsburgh-based guitar virtuoso with debut album just released on February 14th.  His style blends rock, jazz, flamenco, classical and other genres. He has instructed at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, and is a licensed therapist. 

 Novotny started playing Classical guitar at the age of 10. Determined to be a world-class guitarist, he left his first guitar lesson with the instructor telling him basically to give it up. But Brady loved the guitar, and truly, that has been his passion. Brady heard a guitar player that would motivate him and re-energize his passion to continue; that guitar player was Randy Rhoads. He fell in love with classical and melodic guitar playing and he practiced restlessly. He learned everything from classical pieces, melodic and virtuosic solos from 80's guitar heroes, to jazz fusion. 

Brady has set out to do an instrumental project that would have his listeners singing the haunting melodies while holding their attention by uniquely placed guitar virtuosity and dynamic rhythms creating a fusion of rock, flamenco, and jazz.  His love for a variety of musical styles led him to study under many teachers in his life.  Ever since, Brady has had a strong affection for nylon string guitar sound. He immediately fell in love with the passion, virtuosity, and rhythm of this style.  The shred of the 80’s was one of his main influences and guilty pleasures, while Jazz was a big influence on his chordal choices and song color.  He has worked as a Pittsburgh session guitarist, worship leader, and guitarist at several mega churches.

 His 2019 release with MTS Management Group/MTS Records is Passions Collide Featuring the lead single, Redemption’s Cry. The song, featuring a hauntingly beautiful vocal from Brady’s wife, Jennifer is currently charting on the Airplay Today national radio charts.
