PORT TOWNSEND — Rainshadow Recording will present the fingerstyle guitar of Peppino D’Agostino at 7:30 p.m. Thursday.
He will perform at The Palindrome at Eaglemount Cidery, 1893 S. Jacob Miller Road in Port Townsend.
Tickets are $20 each online at https://www. ticketstorm.com/e/27659/t/ or $25 at the door.
D’Agostino emerged on the acoustic guitar scene in the early ’80s.
“His remarkable 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 decades,” organizers said. “Add to that his natural warmth, playfulness and broad musical tastes and you have the recipe for what he calls minestrone music.”
His recordings include Acoustic Spirit, Close to the Heart and Every Step of the Way, which was named one of the top three acoustic guitar albums of all time by Acoustic Guitar magazine readers.
D’Agostino has performed in more than 30 countries, sharing the stage with Tommy Emmanuel, Leo Kottke, Laurindo Almeida, Sergio Assad, Larry Carlton and Eric Johnson, to name a few.
An active member of the Pacific Guitar Ensemble, D’Agostino has collaborated and recorded with the classical guitarist David Tanenbaum (chair of the classical guitar at the Conservatory of San Francisco), Jeff Campitelli (considered one of the 100 greatest drummers of all time by Rolling Stone magazine) and the legendary Paraguayan harpist and violinist Carlos Reyes, among many others. D’Agostino’s composition Stammi Vicino, written with electric guitarist Stef Burns and Italian rock star Vasco Rossi, reached No. 1 in the iTunes rock charts in Italy.
