Saturday, July 21st at 7:30 PM: Loren Barrigar Fundraising Concert at First Presbyterian Church


This special ticketed performance will help raise funds to support free monthly guitar concerts at the library! Eventbrite - Loren Barrigar Concert to Benefit Skaneateles Library Guitar Series

Loren started playing guitar when he was only four years old, and by the time he was six, he played the Chet Atkins hit Yackety Axe in front of thousands of country music fans at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville. He went on to study with Jimmy Atkins (Chet’s brother), which led to a touring career with his family band from Nashville to Las Vegas. Since settling in Central New York, he has been in constant demand as a studio musician and recently produced and played on the #1 rated CD in Syracuse, Dusty Pas’cal’s Home (2007). His finely-honed songwriting skills have launched his melodies on NBC’s hit show ER, The Young and the Restless, and on a Christmas CD with BB King and Patti Labelle.

He has recently performed with some of the best acoustic players in the world including Steven Bennett, Richard Smith, John Knowles, Muriel Anderson (performing at the library in September), and Loren’s friend and mentor Tommy Emmanuel, the Australian guitar sensation. He has also recorded with multiple Grammy-winner and legendary producer Lloyd Maines.

The Blues and Beyond ~ Workshop with Steve Greene

These workshops start with basic blues playing and continue from there.

Some of the topics include:

- increasing your technical skills
- how to listen more deeply in a group setting

It is always a fun time with ( new ) jokes, and new ideas.
