| Description | The Gryphon Theater Presents FINGERSTYLE GUITAR SHOWCASE Featuring Wyoming Artists Welcome! American Fingerstyle Guitar is an artistic tradition dating back to the late 19th century. With roots in the blues music at the time, the tradition has evolved over time incorporating elements from a diverse array of musical genres, and inventing sub-genres within the tradition itself. This event is envisioned as a showcase of the diverse musical styles of this rich tradition featuring 4 Wyoming artists whose individual approaches to the tradition make such diversity manifest. We will perform both original compositions along with traditionals and standards demonstrating an array of techniques and playing styles. Although there will be overlap as each artist will share things in common, broadly speaking, the showcase should provide a look at 4 branches on the Fingerstyle Guitar tree. These are American Primitive Guitar, Modern Fingerstyle Guitar, Jazz/Rhythm and Blues, and Contemporary Folk and Americana. We hope it becomes clear which artist is most comfortable in which genre, so we leave that as an exercise for the listener to suss out :) . We thank everyone for attending and hope you enjoy this *eventas much as we enjoy playing these songs for y’all.
