Evening Concert - Kennedy Outdoor Theater
Peppino D'Agostino is a Renaissance man. This is not
just because he was born in Italy. Everything about
the longtime California resident and his art --
virtuoso acoustic guitarist, composer, singer,
teacher and all-around entertainer -- is rooted in
his heritage. It's fitting then that his new CD is
titled Made in Italy. It's his first CD
release since 2005's Bayshore Road, a
collaboration with longtime friend, electric
guitarist Stef Burns.
"This CD is like a little portrait of Italy," said
D'Agostino. "It's my thoughts and personal
impressions of my native country. This music is for
people who really want to sit down and listen."
D'Agostino has had a long and distinguished career
filled with highlights. His most recent accolade
came from Guitar Player magazine when he was voted
BEST ACOUSTIC GUITARIST by its readers in the
Reader's Choice Awards in May 2007.
