Peppino D’Agostino

About this event

Sponsored by Navigant Credit Union. A native of Italy, contemporary fingerstyle guitarist Peppino D’Agostino has made his considerable international mark as a musical artist on the guitar since he arrived in America in the late 1980s and helped redefine the boundaries of the acoustic guitar. His virtuosic technique, penchant for open tunings, and percussive effects are the basis of his unique compositional style which has been inspiring musicians and audiences alike for years. Add to that his natural warmth, playfulness, and broad musical tastes and you have the recipe for what he calls “minestrone music.” In 2017 Guitar Player listed him as one of the 50 transcendent superheroes of the acoustic guitar. The CD, “Every Step of The Way,” was awarded by Acoustic Guitar’s People’s Choice Awards with a Bronze medal for “Best Acoustic Album of All Time.” Peppino and his wife Donna are the founders of the Music World Retreats, where they host music workshops across the globe and partner with some of today’s best instrumentalists and songwriters. Peppino has recorded 19 CDs, performed in over thirty-five countries at international festivals and concert halls, and has shared the stage with such greats as Larry Carlton, Eric Johnson, Tommy Emmanuel, Leo Kottke, Martin Taylor, and many more. Don’t miss the return of a true master! Ticket Policy Directions & Parking FAQ
