Richard Gilewitz Acoustic Adventures Concert

Richard Gilewitz is one of America's most exciting acoustic guitar artists on the scene today. His music has been recorded by Leo Kottke, and his own album, Somewhere in Between, has been praised by critics and peers alike. Expect an evening of awesome technique on his 6 string, 12 string and slide guitars; nice singing; and complex, energetic originals; all interspersed with his unexpectedly charming stories.

Here comes a Blind Date…

It’s already getting towards the time to think about the annual Acoustic Routes Blind Date concert. The way this works is participants put their names in the Acoustic Routes hat and 6 groups of between 3 and 5 are drawn at random at our July concert. They then have a month to prepare a 15 minute (say 3 songs) set to perform at the August concert.

It’s the most fun you can have with your clothes on - but don’t let us stop you from being more daring. At past concerts we’ve had trad, parody, folk opera and pop classics. Elaborate scripts and costume, fabulous musicianship, forgotten lines and spontaneous improvisation.
