Acoustic Routes Concerts is bringing Scottish fingerstyle guitarist Tony McManus – hailed by Guitar Player
magazine as one of the 50 most transcendental guitarists of all time – to Stony Lake Brewing, 447 E. Michigan Ave. in Saline, on Thursday at 7:30 p.m.
Born Paisley, near Glasgow, Tony 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.
Here are just a few examples of his fiendishly dexterous, dazzlingly original playing:
The Sleeping Tune/ Na Gossidich
Lament for the Viscount of Dundee
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 a pioneering figure in bridging the realms of Celtic music and other guitar genres.
The cover is $20 and 100% goes to the artists. Advance tickets are available online.
Cloudy , with a high of 86 and low of 61 degrees. Mist during the morning, sunny in the afternoon, mist overnight.
Perhaps we are missing something here? The decision to not find a reasonable accommodation to interview Kelley seems short sighted and contrary to ensuring the best interests of the schools and our children are given top priority.
“In our view…” who are you speaking for here?
Sometimes I feel like the some members of the board views this more as a corporation than a community. I understand that Saline Schools are large, but when everything is approached with a big-business, corporate mindset, it starts to lose that sense of connection.
