Acoustic Guitar Summit

Description

In what is certain to be a guitar concert highlight of the year, the Freight & Salvage presents three unique artists with diverse styles within steel-string instrumental guitar. With styles ranging from folk, jazz, and classical to contemporary original compositions, this guitar summit is certain to be a joyous tour de force of solo, duet, and trio performances in one of the Bay Area’s finest listening rooms.

Teja Gerken is a contemporary steel-string fingerstyle guitarist known for his original compositions, many of which employ alternate tunings, two-handed tapping, percussive effects, and other extended guitar techniques. His latest CD is Postcards.

Mark Goldenberg is best known for his role as lead guitarist in Jackson Browne’s band, a position he has held since 1994. He has also played with artists including Bonnie Raitt, Linda Ronstadt, Willie Nelson, Peter Frampton, and most recently has been touring with singer-songwriter Rebecca Pidgeon. But while Mark is the consummate sideman who makes other artists sound great, he has also developed a highly original solo guitar style that may be described as a combination of Michael Hedges, Ralph Towner, Marc Ribot, and Erik Satie. He released his self-titeled solo guitar CD in 2004, and his new album will be released in 2012.

Eric Skye is a Bay Area native who currently resides in Portland, Oregon. Most often billed as a jazz guitarist, Skye actually plays in an eclectic and original style, with a range of influences from bluegrass, to blues, to vintage funk, even a little classical guitar... all threaded together with a healthy respect for the groove. Eric has been featured in magazines such as Guitar Player, Acoustic Guitar, Jazziz, Jazz Improv, and 20th Century Guitar. Eric has been recognized with a signature model guitar by the Santa Cruz Guitar Company. His latest release (July 2012), A Different Kind Of Blue, is a solo acoustic fingerstyle guitar re-imagining of the landmark 1959 Miles Davis recording Kind Of Blue.
