Join is in the intimate 50-person tasting room of Stony Lake Brewing for an evening with Tony McManus, listed as one of the 50 transcendental guitarists of all time by Guitar Player Magazine and hailed by John Renbourn as ‘the best Celtic guitarist in the world,’
Born in Paisley, near Glasgow, Tony’s surname is the legacy of an Irish grandfather, McManus. His fiendishly dexterous, dazzlingly original playing draws on traditions from the entire Celtic diaspora – Scotland, Ireland, Brittany, Galicia, Asturias, Cape Breton, Quebec – along with still further-ranging flavors, such as jazz and east European music.
Long applauded for his uncanny ability to transpose the delicate, complex ornamentation characteristic of traditional bagpipe or fiddle tunes – even the phrasing of a Gaelic song – onto his own six strings, McManus is increasingly being acknowledged also as a pioneering figure in bridging the realms of Celtic music and other guitar genres.
Please note: we have open seating (but can accept reservations for large groups by calling the Brewery) so arrive early and enjoy some fine ales. 100% of the ticket price goes to the artist.
