Great Guitarist: Pick ‘em

Two admirably accomplished acoustic guitar concerts are also arriving at SOhO this week, starting with Latin Grammy winner Diego Garcia of Twanguero fame, the Spanish songwriter famous for his impeccable fingerpicking style that earned him a moniker of a “fire-breathing guitar hero.” The December 4 show, which closes SBAcoustic’s fall season, will focus on his new release, Backroads, Vol 2, a solo set conceived and recorded during his COVID sojourn in the jungles of Costa Rica… Richard Smith, who has performed four times in town under SBAcoustic’s banner including twice as part of a guitar ensemble dating back to Year 1 in 2016, now gets a SOhO-produced club date on December 7. The English guitarist won the national fingerpicking championship just a year after moving stateside to Nashville in 2000 and now tours regularly as a solo artist boasting a repertoire of fingerpicking classics, fiddle tunes, blues, Joplin rags, jazz standards, classical pieces, and his own originals.
