A partial list of what we can expect from these maverick masters is joyful noise, ethereal soundscapes, Vietnamese lullabies, classical virtuosity, elegant fingerpicking, transporting harmony, skronk, fuzz, screams, blues, beauty, whispers and howls.

From experimental hero and Wilco’s own Nels Cline to European superstars Muthspiel and Le,, wild man, trickster and deep sea diver Kaiser to sound sculptor and country-jazz-rocker Pirog, MacArthur Fellow Halvorson with her long time ally Fujiwara…and if that wasn’t enough, the originator of so much of what we now take for granted in the guitar world, the uncategorizable Michael Gregory Jackson.
