加雷斯·皮尔森（Gareth Pearson）被称为 “威尔士龙卷风”，这是特别合适的，因为这种特殊才能结合了指弹眼花缭乱的技术和爆炸性的演奏风格，使皮尔森成为当今最激动人心的原声乐器演奏家之一。
加雷斯（Gareth）具有独特的风格，他的创新涵盖了广泛的流派，包括乡村/民间/古典/流行/摇滚/爵士/摇摆乐和蓝草音乐，以及他自己美丽而又错综复杂的原创作品。
最初，他的演奏风格是受切特·阿特金斯（Chet Atkins），梅尔·特拉维斯（Merle Travis），杰里·里德（Jerry Reed）和汤米·伊曼纽尔（Tommy Emmanuel）的影响而发展的，这种风格既鼓舞人心又充满娱乐性。
拿起吉他不到一年，加雷斯（Gareth）就为汤米·伊曼纽尔（Tommy Emmanuel）的 2005 年英国巡回演唱会开幕。在加的夫（Cardiff），汤米（Tommy）邀请加雷斯（Gareth）参加在田纳西州纳什维尔（Nashville）举行的 CAAS 大会（切特·阿特金斯赞赏协会）。
那年晚些时候，加雷斯（Gareth）与雷·戴维斯（Ray Davies），约翰·雷本（John Renbourne）和南赛·约翰尼（Southside Johnny）和阿什伯里·尤克斯（Ashbury Jukes）一起演出和巡回演出。在 Southside Johnny 巡回演出期间，Gareth 应 Southside 的邀请飞往美国，在新泽西州的 Count Basie 剧院举行年度除夕音乐会。
次年，盖瑞斯（Gareth）受汤米·伊曼纽尔（Tommy Emmanuel）的邀请，成为他的英国巡演的支持者，此前英国对扬·阿克曼（Jan Akkerman），安迪·麦基（Andy McKee）进行了广泛的支持，并参加了许多民间音乐节和吉他研讨会，包括蒙特利尔爵士音乐节。
加雷斯（Gareth）在欧洲各地露面，并享有越来越高的声誉，他应邀参加了 2008 年加拿大吉他节的演出，引起了 Candyrat Records 的注意。这为加雷斯（Gareth）成为该唱片公司签约的第一位英国吉他手奠定了种子。Gareth 发行后的首张专辑 “ Urban Echoes Vol 1” 被原声吉他编辑和经常撰稿人选为 “ 2010 年基本原声专辑” 之一。
随着 2009 年美国蒙特利尔吉他节上的演出以及全球巡回演出和吉他研讨会，加雷斯（Gareth）作为表演者和老师的声誉在不断提高。

.Tommy Emmanuel
“I’m Gareth’s number one fan! What a guitarist! His original compositions hit the ears like cool spring water on a hot summer’s day. His stage show has everyone up on their feet. Fingerstyle guitar is in good hands for the next generation”
Stefan Grossman
“Not only is Gareth one of the most amazing guitarists around, he is a really nice guy and funny as hell!”
Andy McKee
“My friend Gareth Pearson is a huge talent and in his genre, one of the best young players around. I mean there’s many roads that lead to Rome, but this one is definitely a great one. I can see a great future for him”
Jan Akkerman
“Those who have seen him play will agree that Gareth Pearson is a special talent. Fingerstyle pyrotechnics combined with explosive lead runs make Pearson one of the most exciting acoustic musicians gigging today”.
“Gareth Pearson is no average guitar player. He has developed a distinctive style and execution to his playing that has earned him the greatest of accolades from World renowned players. In less than five years, he has grown from a relatively unknown guitar appreciator into a fully fledged professional who now performs in many parts of the World. With influences such as Chet Atkins, Tommy Emmanuel and Merle Travis, Gareth’s arsenal of techniques represents a broad gamut to be entertained by, even if one cannot see his fingers move as they dance with such fluidity. These opinions of popularity are beginning to grow further as guitar greats including Jan Akkerman and Tommy Emmanuel have invited and requested Gareth’s company on tour. Add to this his characteristic vocal signatures and you have one of the World’s most developed new guitar players that has truly blossomed”.
