WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE GUITAR PICKER?

Many of us know of older guitar greats like Doc Watson, Dan Crary and Norman Blake, but how about the current generation of pickers including Bryan Sutton?  I just received this e-mail from Lisa Jacobi:

Sunday February 15 (tomorrow) at 6pm: Grammy winning music sensation Bryan Sutton joins me on stage at doors open prior to his show at the Red Clay Music Foundry in downtown Duluth, Georgia. Bryan is one of the most sought after acoustic guitarists on the planet. He entered the bluegrass world in 1995 as a member of Ricky Skaggs' Kentucky Thunder band, playing on two Grammy award winning records. After his tenure with Skaggs, Bryan went on to build a career as one of the studio guitarists in Nashville. His playing can be heard along side such names as Keith Urban, Dolly Parton, Taylor Swift, and Harry Connick Jr.. Always striving to keep his bluegrass roots strong, Bryan has released four solo projects and has toured around the world with artists like Bela Fleck and Chris Thile, and as a member of the legendary bluegrass band, Hot Rize. Bryan has been honored as a six time winner of the IBMA's Guitarist of the Year, and received a Grammy in 2007 for "Best Country Instrumental Performance" for his duet recording with Doc Watson. If you are in a reasonable driving distance to Duluth, Georgia, make your Sunday night a special one and come to the Bryan Sutton Band show. He's been on tour throughout the southeast and he and his band leave it all on the stage with pristine instrumental brilliancy and a love of audience engagement. Bryan and his band are beautiful entertainers. Get there at doors open and you'll be part of this intimate A2A interview. We'll open it up for a few questions from the audience. Here is a link to the show ticket area, and here is a link to Bryan Sutton's website <-- super music videos there.

Roger's Note: Don't forget to frequent U-Tube for great musical performances in bluegrass and other music genre. There are not many other venues for tuning in to free music especially at your own convenience.
