A man who’s been called one of the most unique and humorous performers in the contemporary acoustic scene will be coming to Jamestown the first week of October. Richard is traveling to Jamestown from Florida, having just returned from a tour in Tasmania and New Zealand!
Gilewitz regularly fascinates his audiences with finger-style gymnastics while spinning yarns too unbelievable not to be true. His rousing performances are filled with amazing chops, humor, and a history of the acoustic guitar from blues to folk, traditional to classical and somewhere in between. His use of banjo style picking patterns, classical arpeggios, tapping and harmonics, as well as a rhythmic and percussive approach, bring a fresh impression to the listener. Richard is respected worldwide for his command of the 6 and 12-string guitar. Whether playing solo, conducting guitar seminars and school programs, or sharing the stage with fellow performers, Richard Gilewitz always creates a sparkle of mood mastery and wonderment.
