| SAT. 10/10 9 PM GARRIN BENFIELD (Wooster Class of 1991)
with special guest JOE KRZYZEWSKI Garrin Benfield's sound has been described as Freestyle Acoustic Rock. His music is a blend of moody, guitar driven rock, blues, and polyrhythmic groove all run through the filter of a very serious Singer/Songwriter. Garrin is first and foremost a guitar player though. His talent shines through as a solo artist when he flat-picks his way through complicated and lightning-fast arrangements and also while he uses a Loop Station to create mesmerizing soundscapes upon which he lays blistering rock, blues and jazz licks, darkened by his extensive use of effect pedals. Improvisation is at the center of a Garrin Benfield concert experience. Garrin twists and turns the tunes each night in an ever-evolving attempt to keep searching for new musical challenges. More about Garrin Benfield Joe Krzyzewski is a gifted sixteen year old songwriter-musician from Pawling, NY, who has been performing on our stage for several years now. Joe is the son of George Krzyzewski, the director of Guitar Stars Music School. Already, Joe has been awarded with first place in the Dutchess County Youth Festival (along with his 10 year old sister Anna); was a finalist in the Mid Atlantic Songwriting Contest; and he was a Towne Crier Cafe Open Mic finalist. Krzyzewski performs throughout Hudson Valley region as a soloist and with his band "The Vagabond Brothers." Joe is currently working on a new CD which he hopes will be released this winter. |
