As the ancient Mayans predicted, the end of the world will be heralded by a concert of gifted guitarists sharing the spotlight in turn like a musical game of Whack a Mole. Saturday, December 1, 2012, please join us in New Haven, CT for Robert Messore's 11th Annual Fabulous Guitar Night!
The show features eight stellar guitar-centric acts in a row, and every 15 minutes there's something new and exciting happening on stage. From folk to jazz to classical to genres that are harder to pin down, the show is loads of fun and it always attracts an enthusiastic crowd. The air will be full of energy generated by the performers who are excited to hear each other play. The saint, the madman, the artist and the athlete, all get their fifteen minutes on stage at the Fabulous Guitar Night. It's like speed-dating with guitar music! It's like a musical play list for somebody with ADD! It's like the best of YouTube, but live! (Okay, we'll stop with the metaphors now.)
