Tuesday is July 4th.  In order to continue at this fabulous venue, we want to make the meetings profitable for the winery. Besides the fine wine, a cheese plate, chocolate cake ala mode and chocolate bars are available. You may also wish to take advantage of Paschal’s wine club benefits.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

Tonight at 7:30 the faculty of the Britt Guitar Weekend takes the stage at the Britt Performance Garden in Jacksonville. Tickets are only $14. Pretty good for 2 hours of guitar played by 6 guitarists from different genres. This year we added Vicki Genfan on percussive style (slap and tap) and Terry Robb on acoustic blues. Both are amazing. Come check it out!

Stone Records recording artist Aaron Larget-Caplan and EWM Records artist Peter Janson perform in Ashland on Wednesday, June 28th at Havurah Shir Hadash, 185 N. Mountain Ave, Ashland OR 97520 as part of their 14-date summer west-coast tour that has them performing from Seattle to Phoenix. More information below.

The Corvallis Guitar Society had their first guitar festival, and it was a huge success with Jaxon Williams playing a brilliant opening concert and Adam del Monte being the headliner. There were also great workshops and a masterclass by Adam. They will likely do it again next year, and it is highly recommended.

ANNOUNCEMENTS

 PLEASE spread the word: there are still plenty of spaces for the Britt Guitar Weekend June 23-25 in Medford, and scholarships are available. Students can learn 8 different styles (including ukulele) and will have free admission to the guitar faculty concert on June 25. All registrants for the full weekend will be automatically entered to win a free Epiphone Limited Edition Les Paul Traditional PRO-II & hard case, courtesy of Epiphone, and will receive a free license for Slowhand™ Personal Video Tutor. More information at brittfest.org/gw. Enrollment so far is very low, and this is the third and final year we can show this idea to be viable in order to continue it. Please help us get the word out to all your guitar playing friends. 

Grant Ruiz will be playing with Dan Fellman at Belle Fiore Winery this Saturday, May 13, from 6-8pm.

A footstool was left at the last meeting. If you are missing a footstool, please reply to this message.
