Acoustic Guitar Showcase – Superbowl Sunday

Sunday, January 22nd, 2012

Am I identifying myself as an odd duck by admitting that I have very little interest in football (or baseball or basketball) and basically ignore the Superbowl except to enjoy a day free of traffic? Perhaps I’m not the only one who thinks an evening of acoustic guitar music is preferable to watching a bunch of guys beat each other up in between multi-million dollar commercials.

If you’re one who prefers music over mayhem and marketing, you might join us on February 5 at the Mission City Coffee Roasting Company in Santa Clara, CA, where I’ll join Doug Young for his Acoustic Guitar Showcase.

Doug hosts this showcase on the first Sunday of each month and has two guests join him for an evening of acoustic guitar in a round robin format. I’ve been a big fan of Doug’s music since I met him in a guitar shop years ago. I’ve played a few of his showcase events and always had a fine time. This upcoming show will feature Mark Goldenberg playing with us. Between Mark’s abstract compositions, Doug’s explorations of Americana and pop, and my Hawaiian slack key, we should have something for every musical taste, well, except for heavy metal and rap, I guess. The show starts at 7 pm, food and coffee are available, please join us.

I have recorded a CD called Kaleponi, all solo acoustic slack key instrumentals, mostly traditional pieces, a few originals.

     

You an buy a copy of the CD or download the tracks at CD Baby.

If you prefer, you can download individual tracks or the whole album from iTunes as well.
