His tales – humorous trips into the world of a touring musician. His tunes – historical adventures on a journey into fingerstyle guitar. His shows – rousing performances laced with sounds from traditional to the blues; Americana to European classical. His workshops – opportunities for students to learn from his experiences.

Richard Gilewitz: Acoustic Adventures is a magical concert of a journey into fingerstyle guitar laced with sounds from the traditional to the blues; Americana to European/Spanish classical; folk to pop, sprinkled with humorous trips into the world of a touring musician. This veteran performer delivers instrumental wanderings that follow a distinct cadence, creating a warm glow that embraces the audience.

This internationally touring artist always fascinates listeners with 6 and 12-string finger gymnastics while spinning enchanting yarns too unbelievable not to be true. Once touted as one of the strangest men in acoustic music, this veteran performer entertains with a playing style laced with sounds of folk, traditional, blues, Americana, rock, and classical - exploring a history of fingerstyle guitar while topping off songs with tales of the road. His selections and performances preserve the legacy of guitar music as he continues to share his experiences during school appearances and workshops. Decades of well-honed technique and years of worldwide touring have created a signature sound that has been captured on audio, video, and live, as Richard’s music rings out long after the show is over.

Concert begins at 8pm with 3-4 floor spots. Richard plays after tea break.
