Al Petteway and Paul Reed Smith!  

 

It’s on October 17th at the Elora United Church, Geddes Street.

Al Petteway is a Grammy-winning American guitarist known primarily for his acoustic fingerstyle work both as a soloist and with well-known folk artists such as Amy White, Tom Paxton, Jethro Burns, Jonathan Edwards, Cheryl Wheeler, Debi Smith, Bonnie Rideout, Maggie Sansone and many others. His own compositions rely heavily on Celtic and Appalachian influences and he is known for his use of DADGAD tuning.

Paul Reed Smith is a luthier and the founder and owner of PRS Guitars. Smith made his first guitar while at St. Mary's College of Maryland, and continued to build guitars after he finished college, making them one at a time, one a month. Together with another local, John "Orkie" Ingram, they formed the nucleus of what would become Paul Reed Smith Guitars.

It’s not every day one of the historic icons of guitar building history comes to this neck of the woods! 

 

Pass it on!
