Dear Guitar Friends,
It’s already time for the next Guitar Society meeting and I am delighted to announce that jazz guitarist Will Brahm, will be our featured artist. Born in Portland Oregon, Will graduated from the Cole Conservatory of music at Cal State Long Beach, LA in 2012 and went on to form his world music group “Homenaje“, releasing their debut album “La Mariposa y el Mentiroso” in 2017. He tours extensively within the US and has also toured to Asia, Canada, and Europe with his music. If you like Pat Metheny, you will like Will Brahm! Check out his website for more details: http://willbrahm.com/
