NEW YORK GUITAR FESTIVAL

As we prepare to celebrate our 25th anniversary we would like to pause and express our deep gratitude to the Augustine Foundation. Without their belief in our mission of bringing audiences and guitarists closer together, and their ongoing financial support, the New York Guitar Festival would not be possible. We offer our thanks, and are truly grateful.

Listen tomorrow night, or watch anytime, for free!

This year’s New York Guitar Festival was full of surprises: Vieux Farka Toure playing a song associated with his famous dad; Bill Frisell and Gyan Riley doing an impromptu duet; the striking sounds of the Portuguese guitar from Marta Pereira da Costa; Laraaji’s all-orange outfit nearly upstaging his duos with Vernon Reid… and you can relive them all as the music hits the airwaves on WNYC’s New Sounds.  Starting with Toure’s set on July 13, with more to come on July 14, 19, 22, August 3, and 4.  Tune in at 11pm each night, or catch the shows later at the New Sounds website.  You can watch the full events online as well (LINK IN BIO).
