Three of the world's leading acoustic guitar virtuosos join creative forces to bring their individual and collective musical genius to the stage (St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute, 845 Kenmore Ave. Buffalo, NY 14223) Sunday, October 4th at 7:30 PM.

Featuring renowned guitar maestros Martin Taylor, Frank Vignola and Vinny Raniolo.

Pat Metheny calls Martin Taylor "one of the most awesome solo guitar players in the history of the instrument, while Jeff Beck says, "he out-shreds all of us—I've never seen anything like it." Taylor is widely recognized as the world's foremost exponent of solo fingerstyle jazz guitar playing, with a record 15 British Jazz Awards, Top 10 albums in the USA and Europe and an MBE from the Queen of Great Britain. Taylor serves as a globally recognized and beloved online guitar teacher through the Martin Taylor Guitar Academy, in association with ArtistWorks, the world's leading online learning provider with students in more than 60 countries.

Frank Vignola is highly regarded as one of the most accomplished, multi-dimensional players in the world today. Les Paul added him to his "Five Most Admired Guitar List" for the Wall Street Journal while the New York Times deemed Vignola as "one the brightest guitar stars."

Vinny Raniolo is best known for his accompanying skills and is a very high demand rhythm guitarist. His dynamic playing has taken him to 14 countries on three continents (and still growing), and he has performed in some of the world's most illustrious venues, including the Sydney Opera House in Australia, The Palace of Fine Arts in San Francisco, New York's Lincoln Center and the world's oldest indoor concert hall, Teatro Olimpico in Vicenza, Italy. Often featured on National Public Radio in duo with Frank Vignola, Vinny has become a familiar figure on Public Television, featured previously on three popular shows, including the heavily programmed Tommy Emmanuel and Friends. Frank and Vinny's own PBS special, Four Generations of Guitars premieres in the 2014-15 season as part of the forthcoming 13 episode series Music Gone Public.
