Luca Stricagnoli and Thu Le, International Guitar Night 2022, 2/10/22, Vienna, VA
International Guitar Night, a touring guitar festival in its 24th year, highlights a wide range of guitar sounds from across the globe, from classical to Australian blues slide.
As part of the festival, which highlights “the dexterity and diversity of the acoustic guitar,” according to IGN materials, guitarists perform solo and in duets and quartets.
This year’s lineup, curated by IGN founder Brian Gore, brings together several returning artists and a newcomer, including: Luca Stricagnoli, an acoustic rock interpreter from Italy who returns to IGN for the fourth time; Vietnamese classical guitarist Le Thu; Brazilian Marco Pereira, a master composer and performer who first toured with IGN in its early days; and Australia’s Minnie Marks, a blues slide guitarist and singer.
