International Guitar Night, North America’s longest running mobile guitar festival, is celebrating its 26th Anniversary. As always, the show will bring together the world’s foremost acoustic guitarists to perform their latest original compositions and exchange musical ideas in a public concert setting. IGN founder Brian Gore has, once again, assembled a new cast of guitar luminaries to come together for a special evening of solos, duets and quartets that highlight the virtuosity and diversity within the world of acoustic guitar.
Classical virtuoso Stephanie Jones (Australia) is heading an all-star lineup with three newcomers, including Brazilian sensation Lucan Imbiriba, Russian fingerstyle innovator Alexandr Misko, and IGN’s first ukulele maestro, Taimane from Hawaii.
