7-9 p.m. Greg Herriges and Scott Keever (solos and duos)

Greg Herriges’s “whirled music” mixes Asian and Mediterranean styles with jazz, rock and classical influences on fingerstyle guitar and bouzouki. An award-winning composer and performer, his music and writing have found international recognition. He is also an author of instructional books for Hal Leonard publishing and a music director for theater/film, but performing is his lifeblood.

Scott Keever is an award-winning fingerstyle guitarist from Minneapolis, MN who combines an American roots sound with styles as far ranging as Celtic, Balkan and jazz. He is a multifaceted performer who is as comfortable playing slide on a resophonic guitar as he is playing classical or folk guitar. His original music represents his own fascination with the world around us and the different sounds that each musical style creates. His stylistic range can be heard on his recent solo album “Solo Guitar: Vol. 2” as well as his 2018 release “Solo Guitar: Vol. 1”.
