SÖNKE MEINEN

Soenke Meinen only needs two thumbs, eight fingers and one guitar to create music that brims over with creativity and textual dexterity.

Soenke's Story

With his music, in which he combines virtuoso fingerstyle guitar with influences from jazz, world- and classical music, Sönke Meinen has acquired an outstanding reputation in the international guitar scene.

After the success of his debut album „Perpetuum Mobile“ (2016) and touring Australia, China, Japan, Russia and almost every European country, Sönke Meinen took the next step being not only the performer, but also the composer and producer of his second solo album „Spark“. Leaving traditional musical stereotypes behind, his unconventional and equally fresh and approachable sound has made Sönke Meinen win numerous prizes; in 2016 he collected awards at two of the largest international guitar competitions: the well-respected „Guitar Masters“ (first prize) and the European Guitar Award (sponsoring prize). The Australian guitar wizard Tommy Emmanuel introduced Sönke Meinen to his audience as „one of the most creative guitarists in the scene today“.

Soenke Joined the ToneWoodAmp artist roster a few years ago, and we couldn’t be happier.  

"Inspiration, to go..."

It’s wonderful to play on the sofa, or outside at the beach and have reverb. Or other effects!  I use it a lot when composing nice ballads, it makes my usually dry room sound like a church.
