The current iteration of North America’s premier touring guitar festival features a percussion-driven expert (Solorazaf), a poetical lyricist (Gore), a world music master (Machado), and a revered jazz legend (Taylor).

• Brian Gore’s elaborate playing style includes classical and percussive techniques that reveal what the Los Angeles Times calls “a characterful bounce and spaciousness all his own.”
• World-renowned jazz icon Martin Taylor, called “the acoustic guitar player of his generation” by America’s Acoustic Guitar Magazine, has built his distinguished career around consummate virtuosity and stage presence.
• Solorazaf elevates the art form of world music to that of transcendent cultural communication, sharing his mélange of influences by crafting rhythmically dynamic and captivatingly melodic guitar tunes.
• Brazilian guitar virtuoso Celso Machado embraces eclectic musical traditions gleaned from his 30 years of global touring and was honored with the 2008 Canadian Folk Music Award for World Solo Artist of the Year.
