About this Event
Never one to settle for the mundane, Richard Gilewitz surprises audiences with his hilariously eccentric vision of the world and its inhabitants alongside breathtaking fingerstyle artistry on the 6- and 12-string guitar. Named one of the top fingerstyle guitarists of all time, Richard invariably captivates listeners with uniquely emotional interpretations of romping knucklebusters and contemplative classical tunes reimagined for steel strings. He credits his ability to pull the deepest breath out of a tune to having studied for decades with a classical guitarist, who was himself taught by a violinist who played alongside Albert Einstein. That is Richard in a nutshell…unusual, unique, surprising, and a true master of the guitar.
Doors open at 7:00. Come early for a drink and a pastry. Tickets are also available in person at the Cafe, in advance or at the door, usually even if they are sold out on this site since we only make 25 available on line. Go to FairfieldMuse.org to find out how you can support live music!
