New Age / World / Instrumental

While on tour in support of Naked Sun's '93 release "Wonder Drug" Angus was tapped by legendary New Age kingpin Kitaro to help complete his forthcoming release "Mandala" and subsequent world tour.  This began an amazing musical friendship that lasts until this very day.  Angus worked with Kitaro on 4 of his albums, each earning a Grammy-Nomination in the "Best New Age Album" category.  Angus toured the world including concerts in Japan, Thailand, Singapore, China and Europe.  The schedule included concerts in some of the world's most prestigious venues including Carnegie Hall.

During this period Angus also collaborated with Tibetan flautist Nawang Khechog and keyboardist Peter Kater in the performance of their "Primordial Rock Celebration" at the Tibetan Freedom Concert at RFK stadium in 1999 with over 75,000 people in attendance.
In 2007, Angus was approached by Jethro Tull's lead violinist Anna Phoebe to collaboate on instrumental material for her debut solo release.  An amazing mix of Celtic and Eastern influences, Angus contributed to her debut solo album "Gypsy" both as guitarist and co-writer.  Works from that album were subsequently performed by Jethro Tull while on tour.
Broadway

With the Tony-Nominated success of "Rock of Ages", a need for professional musicians with a flair for the rock idiom was created.  Angus has been a "sub" for the 2 on-stage guitar chairs for the last 5 years.  It is now one of the top 50 longest running shows on Broadway.

Additionally, he has done concert performances of orchestral adaptations of the music of Queen that were created for the Musical "We Will Rock You".
