GUITAR MUSIC CONCERT AT FIRST CONGREGATIONAL CHURCH IN SOUTH PORTLAND

Take a trip to Spain and Brazil without leaving town, and help support live music in South Portland. On Saturday June 29, 2019 at 7 pm, First Congregational Church will host internationally known guitarist/composer Peter Griggs in a concert, Cafe Barcelona. Mr. Griggs will perform a selection Spanish and Brazilian music, as well as several of his own compositions, on this wide-ranging program. A highly skilled guitarist in flamenco, bossa nova, samba and other Latin guitar styles, he is also an expressive vocalist and will perform several classic Brazilian songs by Antonio Carlos Jobim and Luis Bonfa in the concert.

Peter Griggs has presented more than 600 solo guitar concerts throughout the USA, Germany, United Kingdom, France, the Low Countries, Scandinavia and eastern Europe at art centers, festivals, museums, churches, jazz clubs and other venues. His recordings are available on Folkways Records, Music Of The World, Treecastle Music and CD Baby. He was based for more than ten years in Dusseldorf, Germany and now resides in South Harpswell, Maine.

Critics in Germany and the United Kingdom have hailed Griggs as "a master of expressive sounds" known for his "sizzling guitar playing" and "sophisticated and highly enjoyable" programs. Germanys Bergische Morning Post put it this way: an almost unbelievable talent -- Peter Griggs performs magic!"
