Men Of Steel


Went to see this show here last night, and it was amazing!! 4 acoustic guitarists with 4 very different styles:

Tony McManus from Ireland (can play bagpipe and harp music fingerstyle!!)

Dan Crary from Kansas (very country/blues type playing, but did an Irish song as well)

Beppe Gambetta from Italy (amazing, many many notes, and yet very very beautiful)

and of course Don Ross from Canada ("finger-style" with slapping, alternate tunings, extended and baritone-scale instruments (one song had a low-Ab string, very cool) and very unique playing)

The venue was a large hall, but they had tables set up at the front, and it was a very intimate setting despite the large room/stage. The guys were hilarious in their stories/interactions on stage, and their music was just beautiful! Made me want to give up my guitar instantly! And when all four played together, with vocal harmonies even, it worked so well you wouldn't believe it! If you ever get a chance to see/hear any of these guys, DO IT!!
