New Westminster is once again welcoming some of the world's top guitarists.
The International Guitar Night tour is returning to Massey Theatre for a Friday, Nov. 8 performance.
This year's tour includes San Francisco's Brian Gore, founder of International Guitar Night, who brings his original "California fingerstyle" guitar techniques to a suite of songs inspired by the coast and wine country of his homeland.
He'll be joined by Pino Forastiere, who a press release notes is Italy's premier composer and technical innovator for fingerstyle guitar. Forastiere employs "a dazzling blend of slapping, tapping and harmonics to awe and inspire listeners," the release says.
Also on the bill is Quique Sinesi, considered one of Argentina's most influential guitarists, who blends the tango and folklore of his country into a personal style that integrates jazz, classical and world music.
Rounding out the evening will be Mike Dawes of the U.K., a 24-year-old whose innovative style has won him both Internet stardom and critical acclaim.
They'll be on stage starting at 7:30 p.m.
