Johnny A
$22 advance/ $25 day of show

Johnny AThe thunderous Johnny A has held a lifelong fascination with his six-stringed instrument, a relationship which has produced some of the most enjoyable and awe-inspiring guitar music in recent years. Now widely regarded as one of America's finest contemporary guitarists, Johnny A is not one to embrace any single genre. Though trained and tried in blues, jazz-rock, and down-home country, Johnny A steers clear of any one title. "What dictates what I do," he explained to one journalist, "is the song that I'm playing." And his renditions are indeed quite remarkable. His music, according to Jazz Times, simply "demands to be heard . . . his guitar creates dense musical shadings, conveying nostalgia, regret, hope and intrigue." So, for goodness sake, come hear the guitar wizard at the top of his game, for he's sure to bring the house down.
