Reeves Gabrels is an American guitarist, songwriter/composer and music producer. A member of British band The Cure since 2012, Gabrels is known as well for his long partnership with British singer David Bowie with whom he worked regularly from 1987 to 1999. Throughout, Gabrels developed his own wide-ranging creative identity by performing, writing and recording independently and in collaboration with musicians worldwide. He has lived in New York, Boston, London and Los Angeles, and since 2006 he has been based in Nashville, Tennessee. As a guitarist, Reeves Gabrels is recognized for his virtuosity and versatility, able to "explore sonic extremes with a great, adaptive intuition for what each song needs most." He has also been characterized as "one of the most daring rock-guitar improvisers since Jimi Hendrix." As a songwriter and composer, Gabrels defies genre and easy categorization. The songs on Ulysses, an album from 2000, span "hard-hitting blues rock to 21st century electronica," as Guitar World reviewer Gary Graff put it.
