Lord of the Strings Presents Peppino D'Agostino

Peppino D’Agostino doesn’t just play the guitar.  He composes, arranges, collaborates, improvises and has even been known to sing a song here and there in both English and Italian.  Widely recognized and appreciated the world over as one of the premier guitarists anywhere D’Agostino will bring his unique style to Dana Point in this must see musical presentation.   Peppino’s influences range from Chet Atkins to Paco de Lucia to Doc Watson and Leo Kottke.  A native of Italy, D’Agostino has made his considerable international mark as a musical artist on the guitar since he arrived in America a little over 25 years ago. The readers of Guitar Player Magazine voted him “Best Acoustic Guitarist” in 2007, and the following year in Acoustic Guitar’s “People’s Choice Awards”  he won a Bronze medal for Best Acoustic Album of All Time for his 2002 release Every Step of The Way (tying with Leo Kottke, one of his prime inspirations).  Another Bronze award was awarded as Fingerstyle Guitarist of the sameYear. As said above, it’s not just his talent that makes D’Agostino so notable, but what he does with it.
