$Beppe Gambetta \u2013 Flatpicking Roots Guitar from Italy to America | with special guest, Rees Shad$

Beppe Gambetta is a guitarist, vocalist, researcher, and composer born in Genova, Italy in 1955 who developed a style of concert presentation that brings American and European Roots to speak together with one voice. In his unique approach, Gambetta blends energetic grooves with passionate melodies, giving new life to sources from different times, periods and places. In addition, the original music he composes gives contemporary influences to traditional roots music.
Alongside his persona as an acoustic guitarist and singer, Beppe Gambetta has brought to the fore a consistent songwriting vein, enthusiastically received by critics and audiences, and for many months at the top of the U.S. independent charts.
Based on the artists' right to dream of a beauty that defies the grayness of reality, the program takes us to a world of stories and dreams linked to the motherlands of infinite possible itineraries. Dreams from different eras, inspired by the fathers of music, the voices of minorities, indigenous people, and fleeing peoples, where even “Woody and Pete” looks with horror at the land of today.

Opening the evening is Rees Shad, a masterful Americana storyteller known for his deep catalog of narrative-driven songs and cinematic songwriting approach. Together, Gambetta and Shad offer a night of acoustic depth and global perspective—an experience tailor-made for Godfrey Daniels’ intimate, listening-room setting.
