Gareth Pearson Concert
September 22 @ 7:30pm
The Bozeman Folklore Society looks forward to hosting Gareth Pearson for an evening of fantastic fingerstyle guitar.
Gareth Pearson is referred to as “The Welsh Tornado” which is particularly appropriate, seeing as this special talent combines fingerstyle pyrotechnics with explosive lead runs, making Pearson one of the most exciting acoustic musicians gigging today.
Gareth has a distinctive style that can be heard through his creative and innovative arrangements which cover a wide spectrum of genres, including country/folk/classical/pop/rock/jazz/swing and bluegrass music, along with his own beautiful and often intricate original compositions.
Drawing his playing style initially from influences such as Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, Jerry Reed and Tommy Emmanuel, he has developed a style that is both inspiring and entertaining. He has performed and toured with great musicians like Tommy Emmanuel, Ray Davies, John Renbourne, Southside Johnny & the Ashbury Jukes, Jan Akkerman, Andy McKee, and others. Gareth’s reputation as a performer and teacher is constantly growing.
The show will be at the Gallatin Labor Temple, 422 E. Mendenhall. Doors open at 7:00, and the show starts at 7:30. Advance tickets are available for $10 each at https://bozemanfolklore.org/concert-gareth-pearson/, and remaining tickets will be $15 each at the door. Children 12 and under are admitted for free. Feel free to bring your own refreshments for the show. The Labor Temple is not wheelchair accessible.
