Saulius Jegelevičius
 

"His free-spiritedness is fervent and his energy infectious; 
qualities he emanates wholeheartedly through his music."

(Anna Stokes, 2016)

-----------------------

'Saulius Jegelevičius is an accomplished vocalist, classical guitarist, songwriter and composer.
The young musician debuted as a composer in 2013 by writing the soundtrack for a film
about famous Lithuanian drama actor, Vytautas Paukste. Together with his newly formed band,
Saulius is recording his debut solo album.  His music is memorable and continues to develop
in the listeners minds long after the concert.  The singer uses classical guitar arpeggios
and imitations as well as traditional strumming techniques to accompany his vocal melodies.'

-----------------------
 

“Saulius’s songs are characterful and original.
Their apparent simplicity is deceptive, but their sensitivity is in no doubt.”

(Dr. Christopher Best, 2016)
