Showtime 8:00pm

Peppino D'Agostino is an international treasure who is charting a personal journey through the compositional fingerstyle guitar genre. Peppino is known for his dynamic and mesmerizing performances covering and blending folk, Irish, Italian, Brazilian, flamenco and jazz traditions.

Peppino's newest CD, Made In Italy, was released in 2008 on Mesa/Bluemoon Recordings. He also released a DVD on Mel Bay Publications the same year.  2008 was also a year of immense critical recognition in which his 2002 album "Every Step of The Way" was awarded a third place tie (with Leo Kottke) in Acoustic Guitar Magazine's Players' Choice Awards for 'BEST ACOUSTIC ALBUM OF ALL TIME'.  In the same set of awards, Peppino brought home another third place tie (with Tracy Bundy and Al Petteway) for 'GUITARIST OF THE YEAR - FINGERSTYLE GUITAR', as well as receiving a silver medal in the category of 'ACOUSTIC GUITAR OF THE YEAR', for his signature Seagull Artist Series guitar, featuring the new compound-curve design. 

In 2007 Peppino was also voted 'BEST ACOUSTIC GUITARIST' by the readers of Guitar Player magazine in GP's 2007 Reader's Choice Awards, as well as performed at the Montreal International Jazz Festival.  With a new album coming out in the first half of the year, 2010 looks to be another outstanding leg in Peppino's musical journey.
