    Apr 13th | 8:00PM - 9:30PM
    Italian Guitarist 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. But what he does create on the guitar makes the difference between simply playing and truly making music apparent in the most wonderful ways. D’Agostino has been hailed as “a guitarist’s guitarist” by Acoustic Guitar magazine as well as “a giant of the acoustic guitar” (San Diego Reader), and holds many top guitar awards, but the San Francisco Chronicle encapsulated the essential difference that distinguishes D’Agostino’s music when it dubbed him “a poet.” A beautiful night of music in Boothbay Harbor’s historic Opera House.
    Cost: $15.00 advance, $20.00 day of show
