Champion guitarist to perform at the Pearl

November 9, 2013
Chris Proctor, winner of the U.S. National Fingerstyle Guitar Championship and internationally recognized six and 12-string guitarist, composer, recording artist, performer and clinician for Taylor Guitars, will be performing in concert at the Pearl Theater at 7:30 p.m. Friday, November 22.

Proctor has produced several books and videos that teach his techniques and compositions for solo guitar, and he writes extensively for the guitar pres.

He is known around the western world as one of the modern masters of finger style guitar, and is at the forefront of contemporary steel-string guitar. Since winning the National Fingerstyle Guitar competition, he has toured constantly in North America and Europe, releasing a steady stream of recordings of his compositions and arrangements.

His music is rooted in classic Americana-spiced with soul, folk, Celtic, jazz, pop, and classical flavors.

Chris' warm stage presence and sense of humor, his 12 string landslide work, his adventurous six-string techniques and turnings, his stunning original guitar pieces and arrangements, and his pioneering use of the electronic guitar bow have all made him a favorite with guitar fans everywhere.

Tickets are $10 General and $9 for Pearl Theater Members, and are available at Bonners Books and Mountain Mike's in Bonners Ferry, and at the door.

The Pearl Theater is located on 7160 Ash St. in Bonners Ferry just south of the casino. Turn east off of Highway 95 and watch for the steeple! We look forward to seeing you at The Pearl Theater!
