New York Guitar Festival Begins Today!

I only posted a quick mention of this before, and you would have been reminded when checking Toubab Krewe’s early 2006 tour dates, but it still deserved it’s own reminder…

The New York Guitar Festival, a whole lot of guitar love and definitely any guitarists dream, begins today. Get on out there and support this and tell me how it went.

Three weeks of spectacular guitar concerts to take place at Carnegie Hall’s Zankel Hall, The 92nd Street Y, World Financial Center Winter Garden, Merkin Concert Hall, Flushing Town Hall, Joe’s Pub, BB King Blues Club & Grill, and The Monkey. Artists include: Pepe Romero, Daniel Lanois, Jorma Kaukonen, Bill Frisell, Sonny Landreth, Cindy Cashdollar, Taj Mahal, Michelle Shocked, Dan Zanes + more!

The opener is going to be one of the best parts and something definitely worth witnessing live. Click here for the full schedule.
