||| FROM BETHANY MARIE for ORCAS CENTER |||
Get ready for the FREE Summer Concert Series on the Village Green beginning this Sunday, June 16 at 5pm sponsored by Orcas Center, Country Corner, OrcaSong Farm, and GiveOrcas/OICF.
This year, Luca Stricagnoli, the mesmerizing Italian acoustic guitarist kicks off this fantastic family-friendly event. Fans of guitar and acoustic music in general will not want to miss this show!
Stricagnoli’s jaw dropping virtuosity includes playing up to five guitars at the same time. His repertoire, performed on double and triple neck guitars he himself designed, includes a blend of popular songs from contemporary rock, film scores and mind-bending originals. He has released four albums, with 200 million views on his Youtube channel.
“Every so often, a musician emerges who, in terms of depth of expression, advances a style so much that the way we listen changes forever,” notes Minor 7th Magazine. “Luca Stricagnoli embodies such a shift.” In this sense, an evening with Luca Stricagnoli, which always ends with standing ovations and encore requests, is a celebration of transformative musical artistry alongside virtuosity.
