stretching the boundaries of the guitar with many different styles.
His Italian charm and talent have earned him fans all over the world.

Peppino D'Agostino was voted "BEST ACOUSTIC GUITARIST" by the readers of Guitar Player Magazine in THE 2007 GUITAR PLAYER MAGAZINE READER'S CHOICE AWARDS!
Peppino writes wonderful guitar pieces. He's one of my favorite composers for this cranky instrument. Plus, he's a tone player. I love his sound... gets the resin and the wood."
Leo Kottke
"a poet...among the best talents around"
San Francisco Chronicle

Tommy Emmanuel
"Peppino brings warm humanity to the acoustic."

Mike Marshall with Choro Famoso
September 27 - Castoro Cellars, 7pm, $22
Last Outdoor Concert of the SLOfolks/Castoro Summer Concert Series.
Catered dinner available at extra charge by Hospitality Catering.
Mike Marshall is one of the most innovative players of new instrumental music. Initially rooted in bluegrass, Marshall has consistently explored all the possibilities of his stringed instruments. During the five years (1985-1990) that he was a member of David Grisman's influential Quintet, Marshall toured with Stephane Grappelli, Mark O'Connor, Tony Rice, Bela Fleck, Jerry Douglas and fellow Grisman band member Darol Anger.
He is one of the world's most accomplished and versatile acoustic musicians, a master of mandolin, guitar and violin whose playing is as imaginative and adventurous as it is technically thrilling. Able to swing gracefully from jazz to classical to bluegrass to Latin styles, he puts his stamp on everything he plays with an unusually potent blend intellect and emotion a combination of musical skill and instinct rare in the world of American vernacular instrumentalists.
The Choro Famoso band includes Brian Rice (Percussion), Andy Connell (Clarinet & Saxophone), Carlos Oliveira (Guitar) and Michael Spiro (Percussion
