Mindaugas Stumbras

Mindaugas Stumbras is a Lithuanian guitarist and composer. His music is very dynamical, colourful and versatile. Beautiful and picturesque compositions are influenced by broad European jazz scene, American jazz tradition, Lithuanian folk music and Scandinavian improvisational music scene.

Melancholic and nostalgic melodies merged with meditative flow of the harmony create a warm atmosphere and forms the way this music sounds.
