The Port Theatre is the place to be next month if you like guitar playing.
The Port presents an evening with four of the most dynamic acoustic guitarists found anywhere.
International Guitar Night will showcase four of the most talented guitar players in North America -- Brian Gore, Antoine Dufour, Andrew White, and Peppino D'Augostino -- when they perform at 7:30 p.m. Nov. 2.
The International Guitar Night brings together the world's foremost acoustic guitarists to perform their latest original compositions and exchange musical ideas in a public concert setting. IGN is North America's premier mobile guitar festival and it is the only production of its kind to have grassroots origins.
Ever since its beginning in 1995 in a converted laundromat in the California Bay Area, IGN has featured the best performing guitar composers from around the world.
Since the beginning, audiences have cherished the friendly informal ambiance of the performances. Participants have relished the chance IGN affords them to collaborate rather than compete.
The unique brand of "guitar positivity" the forum provides has helped make IGN the most successful guitar showcase of its kind in the U.S.
Michael Parrish of Dirty Linen Magazine says: "With the International Guitar Night, Brian Gore has created a new niche for the myriad of styles that can be played by the unaccompanied acoustic guitar, as well as marvelous opportunity for virtuosos to interact and learn from one another onstage."
