Cactus Records & Gifts is excited to host an in-store performance by guitar virtuoso Ian Ethan Case on Thursday, Oct. 1. The performance is free, though a donation of $5 or more is requested to help him cover the costs of touring.
Case, a Boston-based multi-instrumentalist, is best known for his innovative approach to the 18-string double-neck acoustic guitar and is increasingly gaining recognition both for his unique instrumental compositions and for the highly original playing methods required to perform them. While audiences consistently remark on the visual aspects of watching Case play, his unusual methods are simply byproducts of the rich, heartfelt music he writes.
Case’s Bozeman performance, at Cactus Records & Gifts, is part of a coast-to-coast tour in support of his most recent solo album “Run Toward The Mountains,” a double-disc album featuring the two sides of his playing: “straight up solo acoustic” double-neck, and at the other end of the spectrum, his meticulously-crafted live looping compositions which make full use of the best 21st-century digital technologies to enable seemingly infinite layers of sound and sophisticated on-the-spot orchestration that extends well beyond the reach of most solo looping performers.
