ABOUT NEW YORK GUITAR FESTIVAL
Since its founding in 1999 by David Spelman, the Artistic Director of the festival, and WNYC’s John Schaefer, host of the New Sounds radio series, the NYGF has taken advantage of the instrument’s unique ability to find a way into almost every kind of music we make. For over twenty years, the NYGF has presented creative programs that feature some of the best-known guitar heroes of our time, as well as extraordinary talents that the festival’s producers, David Spelman and WNYC’s John Schaefer, have uncovered. Over the course of two evenings, the NYGF will present 7 acts reflecting the guitar’s incredible diversity.
