Description
WOODEN GUITAR HEROES
It is doubtful that any instrument carries with it more clichd images and references than the acoustic guitar: the college crooner on a grassy lawn or the bandana-clad protester.  But often behind such stereotypical images is an element of truth.  In many ways, the acoustic guitar is the great democratic instrument: Affordable to obtain and easy to transport; a generous learning curve for beginners; limitless nuance and complexity in the hands of a virtuoso.  But in the end, the enormous multiplicity of musical styling, allows a creative mind to wander in any direction, the acoustic guitar serving as a blank page, ready to receive any creative urge.

This evening Bowerbird brings together three unique perspectives in the pantheon of acoustic guitar: multi-instrumentalist Tetuzi Akiyama visiting from Japan, internationally-renowned Philadelphia based Jack Rose, and local DIY scene favorites, Little Ocean; all performing in the intimate and historic surroundings of the 18th century home of Samuel Powel, Philadelphias Patriot Mayor.
