Peppino D'Agostino is not your conventional steel-string acoustic guitarist. He cannot be pinned down to a particular style. And that's exactly the way the internationally acclaimed virtuoso wants it. The Italian native and longtime California resident's latest project is 'Bayshore Road,' a collaboration with his friend and studio partner, electric guitarist Stef Burns, a longtime member of Huey Lewis & The News and a highly regarded rock guitar virtuoso. Released in 2005, 'Bayshore Road' is D'Agostino's latest effort for guitar legend Steve Vai's label, Favored Nations, and it serves as a perfect example of his diversity. D'Agostino's style incorporates both standard and unconventional tunings as well as unique fingering and percussive effects. D'Agostino's solo work is incredibly wide-ranging, yet his many collaborations with an astonishing variety of fellow musicians and composers illustrate the full depth of his talent. The TrueWind Music Concert Series began in 2004 as a twice a month series at the Espresso Garden & Cafe. With the venue's closing in April 2006, we're "gone private," and are now hosting a House Concert Series. Seating capacity is 40 at our house concerts. The money that we collect is passed directly to the artists. We provide a comfortable listening environment, dessert and coffee. The address is provided once a paid commitment is made to the concert. With limited seating, we believe this is only fair to the artists. Location: Home in Campbel.
