Peppino D'Agostino April 22, 2010

Peppino D'Agostino is a Renaissance man. This is not just because he was born in Italy. Everything about the longtime California resident and his art—virtuoso acoustic guitarist, composer, singer, teacher and all-around entertainer—is rooted in his heritage. It's fitting then that his new CD is titled Made in Italy. "This CD is like a little portrait of Italy," said D'Agostino, who was voted Best Acoustic Guitarist by the readers of Guitar Player magazine in 2007. "It's my thoughts and personal impressions of my native country. This music is for people who really want to sit down and listen." ampconcerts.org/peppino.html
