Beppe Gambetta will play in The Crane Bar on tomorrow, Thursday 31 January at 9.30pm.

Beppe is continually composing his personal mosaic of sounds and flavours. From his unique roots developing as an Italian musician in love with both American country and bluegrass as well as the music of his native country, Beppe has travelled the world and even crossed the Iron Curtain to dazzle and charm music enthusiasts everywhere.

After ten CDs, four DVDs, four teaching books, and collaborations with many other top-flight musicians, Gambetta is increasingly known as one of the true live master innovators of the acoustic guitar.

While Beppe still lives in his native Genoa, he travels to North America at least twice each year. His reputation in the US and Canada is reinforced by his participation in prestigious festivals like the Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas, Merlefest in North Carolina, the Kerrville Folk Festival in Texas and Canadian Folk Festivals in Winnipeg and Edmonton.

With America in his heart and his roots in the sun and the olive trees of the Mediterranean, he naturally and seamlessly bridges the shores of the two continents, creating in spite of the interposed ocean a musical fusion where country music and Ligurian tradition, emigration songs and folk ballads, mandolins and harp guitars not only co-exist but interact, weaving a deep dialog unaware of any rigid classification.

Tickets, €12.50 are available from The Crane Bar on Sea Road.
