ABOUT MANUEL ( manuelguitarist.com )

From coast to coast, calm to chaos–the diverse and dynamic career of Manuel Urgiles shines through on MANUEL, one of Maine’s most promising contemporary instrumentalists. The guitarist is a father of two: a mantle of pride, duty, and joy, one that has challenged–but ultimately championed–the man and the musician! MANUEL blends percussive passion, groove, and paint-peeling shred to deadly effect, Progressive Latin Metal. Proving that ‘soul’ doesn’t necessarily mean ‘singer,’ this composer’s lyrical lines and lighting fingers ring with meaning and melodrama, remaining unspoken but leaving nothing unsaid across his music. MANUEL’s latest EP, Underneath was mixed and mastered by the esteemed Stacy Parrish (Robert Plant, Brandy Carlilse, Elvis Costello), MANUEL is a milestone in what is still the onset of a long and lively career! "Manuel's EP is a true musical revelation, defying conventions and pushing boundaries with its genre-defying fusion of heavy metal, Latin rhythms, and surf elements. His guitar prowess is nothing short of awe-inspiring, delivering a sonic experience that leaves a lasting impression.” - Stacy Parrish is a renowned recording engineer, music producer, musician, and songwriter with six Grammy awards within his collection of accolades.
