Barely three years ago Erik Mongrain was still playing in the Montreal subways and soon after the release of his debut album, Fates, he was in demand all over the world. Between Erik’s dexterity & the sheer complexity of his compositions, some of the world’s finest musicians have been drawn to his sound including guitar legend Paul Reed Smith & Paul McCartney and he’s also opened & toured with Derek Trucks. Erik’s sophomore album Equilibrium was discovered by millions on the internet and he now makes his Sellersville Theater debut with two other exceptional acoustic guitarists who’ll perform opening sets.

“Erik has become a bit of a YouTube sensation ... he is famous because he is an incredible musician and virtuosic guitarist. - Guitar Noize
