International Guitar Night is the world's premier touring guitar festival, each show bringing together the most interesting and innovative acoustic guitarists to exchange musical ideas in a public concert setting. For each tour, IGN founder Brian Gore brings together a new cast of guitar luminaries for special evenings of solos, duets, and quartets that highlight the dexterity and diversity within the world of acoustic guitar. Brian founded IGN in 1995 as a forum for the world's finest guitarists/composers to play their latest original songs and share musical ideas and talent with their peers.

The performers will each play a solo set in the first half of the show; in the second half, they will collaborate in duos and trios, as well as all together.  

IGN is celebrating its 27th Anniversary with the debut of Roxane Elfasci, the award-winning classical virtuoso from France, and three all-time IGN favorites: Acoustic Rock dynamo Luca Stricagnoli from Italy, mellow Slack Key master Jim Kimo West from Hawaii, and the irrepressible blues slide guitar powerhouse Minnie Marks from Australia.

Roxane Elfasci is an award-winning French classical guitarist, with a repertoire that ranges from Debussy's timeless classics to contemporary compositions by Roland Dyens and Philip Glass. She continues the tradition of virtuosic classical players that have graced our IGN lineups.

Luca Stricagnoli just wowed us at his sold-out Outpost show! He is well-known to IGN audiences for his amazing arrangements of rock classics on custom designed acoustic guitars. With over 100 million YouTube views, Luca has carved out a unique niche as a dazzling performer who has created new instruments and playing techniques.

Jim "Kimo" West leads a double life. In his native Hawaii he is revered for his mastery of Slack Key guitar, and has impressed IGN audiences and concertgoers around the world with his flawless technique and beautiful melodies. In his other life, he is the long-time lead guitar player for "Weird Al" Yankovic. Go figure.

Minnie Marks was surprised when we first called her in her remote Australian home to join IGN, but once on stage she wowed audiences with her driving blues slide guitar and passionate vocals. Now with worldwide touring under her belt we, and her many American fans, are happy to welcome her back again.
