Tickets are cash only; credit cards will be required to reserve in advance and only charged upon no-show. Doors open at 6:30.
Born in Sicily, D’Agostino left Italy over 30-years ago with a dream of “playing with the greatest guitarists.” He emerged on the scene in the early 1980s as a leading member of the second wave of the great finger-stylists that helped redefine the instrument in the ‘90s.
He plays with remarkable technique, and a penchant for open tunings and percussive effects, which are the basis of his unique compositional style that has been inspiring musicians and audiences alike for decades.
Add to that his natural warmth, playfulness, and broad musical tastes and you have the recipe for what he calls “minestrone music.” His album “Every Step of the Way,” was named one of the Top-3 acoustic guitar albums of all time by readers of Acoustic Guitar Magazine.
