Courtney Hartman

Courtney is an acclaimed guitarist, singer and writer from the foothills of Colorado, USA. Acoustic Guitar Magazine recognizes her as a “distinctive guitar stylist and a songwriter that delights and disturbs” while PopMatters hailed her most recent release as “a delicate light glistening softly in the darkness.”

In 2014 she received a GRAMMY nomination for her work with folk quintet Della Mae, and in 2017 Americana Music Association nominated her for Instrumentalist of the Year.

Courtney has created music and collaborated with a broad range of prominent artists, including Bill Frisell, Gregory Alan Isakkov and Anais Mitchell. She continues to collaborate across cultures and disciplines, always seeking to bring voice to the hushed and inexpressible.

Her teaching work includes fifteen years of private instruction experience as well as faculty positions at Fretboard Summit, Silk Road’s Global Musician Workshop, Rockygrass Academy and Chris Thile’s Acousticamp. During your sessions with Courtney, you will not only broaden and perfect your technicall skills as a flatpick guitar player, but also find inspiration to add nuance and personal touch to your playing.
