His distinctive touch is unmistakable. Whether performing a lush, sensual ballad or a haunting, bitter lap steel melody Gerhard will mesmerize. Scott Alarik of the Boston Globe said it best when he wrote "Gerhard does not write instrumentals. He writes songs only a guitar can sing."

All of Gerhard’s CD releases have received high praise from critics and guitar fans worldwide, including the Boston Globe Critic’s Poll “Top Ten Albums of the Year.” Acoustic Guitar Magazine writes "…his recordings and live performances have established him as one of the most exciting of the guitarist-composers."

Gerhard was awarded a GRAMMY® for his inclusion on the CD "Henry Mancini; Pink Guitar." His guitar work can be heard on CDs by Arlo Guthrie and Jorma Kaukonen and is featured in the Ken Burns' film "Mark Twain" and "The National Parks: America’s Best Idea."
