For nearly 20 years Johnny A. has travelled the world, effortlessly bending and blending musical genres to deliver his own unique style of instrumental guitar music. He returns to Rockport for a much-anticipated solo concert that’ll deliver what JAZZIZ calls “music that is both accessible and sophisticated.” Come watch a master at work.
Never content with complacency, and always up for a challenge, Johnny again takes an adventurous musical left turn to present his distinct, instrumental guitar approach for the very first time in a completely “solo” intimate atmosphere. With strong emphasis on melody and arrangements from the British songbook of the 60s, he will be bringing his fluid guitar style to select venues all across the United States.
The evening promises to be a very special “living room experience” with some of Johnny’s favorite songs and stories all of which have molded him into the musician and person he is today. It’s no wonder that Gibson and Epiphone guitars have honored him with not one but three signature model guitars designed to his specifications.
Over the years, Johnny has racked up the awards and accolades including a Grammy Award nomination, the honor of Boston Music Awards “Blues Artist of the Year 2010” and a spot in the revered Boston Music Hall of Fame.
Note: For some concerts, the window behind the stage may need to be covered for acoustical purposes. We do not always know which artists will need the window closed, but at a certain level of amplification, it is necessary.
