Beppe Gambetta at the Minstrel

Beppe Gambetta is an Italian bluegrass flatpicking champion. Early in life he was captured by the music of such greats as Doc Watson and Tony Rice. Equally skilled on mandolin, he can blaze through a hot bluegrass tune or croon a lovely Italian traditional ballad. Opener Shun Ng presents an equally skilled, but very different approach to the guitar. With great virtuosity and subtle signal processing on his radically designed guitar, he performs his own music as well as some unexpected covers of unlikely and yet familiar songs.
